Hi Jim just to put you out of your misery it’s now just off the M3 at the end of the old Winchester bypass in the lay-by just before the A34 and A33 fork in the road, I think the Conder Steel factory was to the side of the lay-by.

Chris also told me that the gantry you can see in the distance was the one that Ivor Truman knocked down with a high load many years ago!!!

Regards Pat

Hurry with the jam Buzzer the toast is in !! :laughing:
The model will be finished by next weekend I bring it out when I can for you to see !!

Hi Pat I wasn’t to far away then ! :unamused: :unamused: on my iPad I can’t see the whole of the pic ! Well that’s my excuse !

Found this old pic anyone know if it was Steve Cooke (Lowloader man from near Wimborne) father’s truck?

It does say Eversley on the cab!

If so he used to own my house at one time!!!

Hi All

Hi Pat the Dennis was Steves dads it was ex Mays motors and was a replacement to a KM Bedford.
The low loader was a Tasker & came from Huxleys of Staines which was pulled by both tractor units.
The company next to the now closed lay by was Caswell Cranes & now is Garbuio Dickinson.
Conders were on the other side of the estate rd a bit further back.

Cheers Rich
