NoTrev, not ringing any bells with me, where were they based?, only operator with Romanswere Farrells from Chester.sbf10
Hello Trevor, Yes B&C transport was owned by the late Mr Arther Bourne of Oswestry and were based at Queenshead.
They used to do regular south wales. I do have some photos when i can dig them out. I am sure i put one of there Atki,s on the old oswestry thread, I am sure Chepstow chap would have some good photos of B&C, he was one of the best for photos around our neck of the woods,

Hello OXO and Steelboy, thank you for your replys . Oxo i think i am right in saying that B and C had a AEC Mandater with a v8 engine on an L plate they were regulars at Shotton they were red as i remember but from Oswestry Cadwalleders were the main hauliers . But i cant remember Trevor Morris in Shotton
What a nice picture was it taken on Dinmore hill charliechap thank you Trevor
Hello Trevor, the shot of the BSC Sedd Atk was taken on the A419 near Birdlip Gloucester ,and possibly heading for Swindon. avb
Hi Steelboy f10 , Do you remember Boswells carrying out ofShotton ,Nobby ,Big GOrdon Roberts on one of the Big J s , Cheers Barry

B&C, Arther Bourne & John Cowper, John went separate ways and had a new D Series artic tipper in the Quarry and as now sadly passed away. I worked for Shuker haulage at rednal in the early seventies and being next door to B&C,I do remember The AEC but i am sure it was a 760. I will see Arthers son in law when he calls for a cup of tea as he will know what engine,he was the fitter. They had two Roman lorries and had a lot of trouble .with diffs, They were no bigger than a moggy 1000.
