Thats right mate he brought the 2 ERF/s off them and sort of got the work.
I worked for them driving one of the 8 wheeler erf/s
long time ago that was mate . was talk to terry a while ago don’t know what he is doing now if anything .
I can remember them well, we (MAT) used to load 30ft containers out of there with storage heater bricks for Germany. The fork lift driver who I think was called Len used to lift the container up in the air while we put bits of broken pallet between the chassis rail and the container otherwise the container sagged and you could not close the doors. They had a nice fleet of 8 wheeler tipers bringing agrigate in and taking finished refactory products out. They also hyad a young lad on a pedestrian operated fork lift who was an avid Stoke fan.
