Hello,
I am trying to find out some info about what happened to an old Lorry hire business, that had closed down in the late 1970,s, its only for personal interest, a trip down memory lane,
The company was called, AVON TRUCK HIRE and were based in WARMLEY BRISTOL AVON, now South Gloscestershire,
Really looking for any photos of the trucks and the workshop, I did manage to find one photo on here, which I have re-posted on the topic,
Can any of you guys help me out,
A couple of photos here for you transportphotos.com Photographer Adrian Cypher.
Thank you very much John, there two great photos, with the workshop in the background as well, really pleased, cheers.
Hi billybudge
the 2 pictures that John has put up look like they were taken in the yard of Symms Brothers of Calne. you can see on the headboard of the F86 SB transport.
were they connected to Symms?
also in this picture you can see a very similar ERF but with SB Transport on Headboard
an F88 of Avon’s taken in Taunton Meat haulage yard (photo courtesy of Bubbleman)

Hi Colin, Great photos, thank you.
Also thanks for the info on the possible link with Symms Brothers of Calne, I think they bought all the truck stock when Avon trucks went down, not sure,
thanks again,

The first photo, black and white one, is taken at the Symms Brothers of Calne yard,
and the second photo was taken at the Avon Truck Hire Yard, in Warmley , Bristol in about 1976, just after the place, workshop and stand alone diesel pump had been repainted,
The Yard is long gone, The house and workshops, and yard stood empty for years, through the late 1970s even 1980s , Early 1990s was demolished and rebuilt into the Jewsons site,
