Hi all,
Long shot here !! I’ve never heard of this company until talking to a friend the other day, the first truck I started to drive in was a 1959 ERF KV on the fairground - 1006 EH, apparently it startded its life with Hargreaves of Cannock before Keith Stanworth bought it for there Paratrooper ride in about 1970
apparently he bought 3 of them, but sold 2 on too other showman
Does anybody have any photos of Hargreaves and espcially 1006 EH in its first life.
Fingers crossed
Thanks
Ant

Hi Ant, nice outfit Hargreaves, based in a little yard in Bridgtown. Ran mainly steel, I sold them some 28ft Boden coilers. Maroon livery, yard is now all re-developed by Fred Pritchard into industrial units. He has made a good job of re-developing a very run down area. Now has nice housing, (affordable), light industry, offices, and a good quality Hotel.
Stoke could do with the same sort of entrepreneur to move things along. Hargreaves was 100% ERF, and worked them very hard. Gone but not forgotten.
Cheerio for now.
Fingers crossed
Thanks
Ant
