Since that FL of Kingswood is a 7 not a 10, would that be the Marseille shunter that Mickey Matthews had? Lightest possible so max weight loads were legal leaving the plant. He had a tent awning thing that clipped onto the top of windscreen I seem to (vaguely) remember?

Looking North along Portswood Broadway,Southampton in April 1949.The tram services passing through Portswood were withdrawn the previous year with the introduction of the Gardner 6LW powered Guy Arab 111’s - 150 of which entered service between 1948-1954.
J.R.Wood’s 1944 Dodge 101B coal lorry is just passing Westridge Rd . Wood’s were wholesale & retail solid fuel merchants & fuel distibutors throughout Hampshire & Dorset.
They were acquired by the Corrall group in 1961.

Not much more than a stone’s throw from my Auntie Beryl’s house in Blenheim Gardens where I lived for a time in 1964 while waiting for a berth as a deckhand on a Union Castle ship. I had transferred to the Southampton Pool from Dock St. in the east end of London because I had seen South America and I wanted to see South Africa. Didn’t work out. Got an urgent call one morning to grab a taxi to join the Queen Mary as she was one short and about to leave for New York. Never did make it to South Africa.
