Gatt66:
Hi, anyone remember my parents, Tony Gatrell and Lesley Gatrell, A I Gatrell Ltd based at Hardley Industrial Estate, Hythe, Haulage and Warehousing, used to do a lot for RHM Flour Mills out of the docks, ISR Rubber to Membury, Silver Trout to Billingsgate Fish Market as well as other general haulage. Last tractor unit sold, a White Magirus Deutz 310 (POR 796S) was sold to John Dennis John Dennis T’pt/Hythe Transport) Is it still stuck in the corner of a yard somewhere?
Will try and dig out some photo’s when I get a chance.
George Legg, one of our drivers, unforgettable, another Compo from last of the summer wine with my dad from the start until the last truck was sold. Still around and nearly 90
Company is still going, warehouses/offices now workshops and offices are rented out.
Hi Gatt66 John Davies here aka Davies International Transport I used to be on the rubber run to Yatesbury on the old airfield run by Symes of Calne,i remember you had two trucks on this job the afore mentioned Maggie driven by Geoff and an old F88,i also had two motors at the time an F88 driven by Stan Mathews RIP my first driver I took on and a Mandator I drove myself.Two loads a day and we knew every pothole and bump in that route.Your chaps and us worked together foldind sheets at Yatesbury as this was far easier especially if the wind was up or it was raining,SFM also did loads to there and occasionally Whitehorns but they uasually went to Membury.When we had discharged our second load we all headed for a little café on the A4 heading back to Malmesbury where we partook in a cup of tea and a bun and a chat,then your trucks went back to load for the following day and we went for diesel thus avoiding a holdup in the loading bays at ISR,good old days and we used to get £72 a load up and £30 for a back load of salt which was stored at Yatesbury so the money wasn’t bad either,definitely a Mary Hopkin moment,cheers Buzzer.
