A bit different from my day Paul those two tanks weren t there then the hoppers look pretty much the same one lane for tarmac and the other for birophelt .(.cant spell this )…my dads weigh bridge was on the other side . On the other end not seen on the photo was the top box and granite loading area below that know as the mills for some unknown reason.

That should get a few more minds ticking over for a wee while…i was at a bbq yesterday,chatting to a geezer who turns out to Horace Webster’s son
he says his dad is 85 now and off on a cruise soon…so must be in good health.i remember seeing Richard Webster’s motor when he used to park it down by the side of the service road leading to the LFE m/w services.
That be Richard Webster I presume ?
Bit of a beard, always used to load out of Alexandra stone !
That was the old mans house, just off the LFE service road, Horace Websters yard was just behind, literally a glorified drive, where he got 2 M.A.Ns on & 1 on the road !
Hope you asked if he had any pics ?the chap i was talking to is tim,gunner.richard is horace’s brother i think.i’ll ask about any photo’s next time i see tim.
Just found this photo. Would be interested in any more pictures of Websters trucks, I think mine might have belonged to them originally, T762 ROP a F2000 Roadhaus
that old girl’s crying out to be saved! need a lot of work though…
