Yes remember them using it Keith,cut a lot off before Leominster and Ludlow had bypasses built.Its surprising how many wagons still pass through Leintwardine these days.We call at the butchers shop there and loads of lorries are going in both directions a lot of the time.
Cheers Dave.

Does that squirrel meat taste of nuts Dave?
Talking of Leintwardine reminds me that a student at Sheffield University, who had a part-time job in my local pub,was from Clungunford and she was most surprised to learn that I knew where it was.

There is a social club at Clungunford Chris which is open with a licenced bar six nights a week,with live music every Saturday.We used to go there quite often,but haven’t been for about three years,its a good place.I will get you a squirrel Chris and post it to you.
Cheers Dave.

They are named Griffiths Keith,but I don’t know if they are related.The Lion is now owned by the Watkins family from Heatsease who own Radnor Hills,they have spent a lot of money on the Lion.

Hi Trevor,
Yes Bengry’s had a lot of lorries on steel,also had Leinthall quarry near Wigmore with a fleet of tippers,which is now owned by Breedon Aggregates. They ran coaches and had a garage business as well which is still run by the same family.
The lorries were based at Longmoor near Kingsland. C D Owens with blue lorries was based at Mortimers Cross,also Ivor Jay lived at Mortimers Cross had a fleet of lorries.
Cheers Dave.
Bill Bengry, who ran the garage business, was quite a successful rally driver in the 1960s.

Bill Bengry, who ran the garage business, was quite a successful rally driver in the 1960s.
He drove in the London to Sidney rally with Arthur Brick and John Preddy in a Cortina MK2 sponsored by Motorway Remoulds from Knighton. .I remember my brother-in-law buying a car off him,he gave him a good deal and was a tidy bloke.
Cheers Dave.

That’s them Trevor. C D Owens packed the lorries up in the 1970’s and went on timber processing,tanalising etc.He always ran a tidy fleet of lorries which as you say were Leyland and AEC,never ran any rough motors.
Cheers Dave.
