does anyone remember i scarr and son based in brayton near selby?
my old man drove for them in the late sixties early seventies.they have been
gone a few years now seem to remember they ran seddon atkies and a couple of aec:s
i remember scarrs dark blue seddon atkinsons and i think they bought one of campeys fodens when they finished in 1985. anybody remember them,loads of old blue fodens from thorpe willoughby near selby. i think scarrs finished in the late eighties the firm i now work for bought one of there tautliners when they finished
I vaguely remember Scarrs and H.Campey’s Fodens even better.

Well glad to know they are still going even though under a different name.
I got to know one of their drivers in 1969,we stayed in the same digs on London Road Carlisle,and both parked in BRS Parcels yard.It was the first time I tasted beer from a state-owned brewery in a big boozer (Red Lion ?) in the town.We met on the thursday going north and the friday coming south,same digs.Can’t remember his name,but a good night on the friday as we only had to run home on saturday.
