A few pics of the Marshalls trucks I drove that used to run out of Llay before it closed in 2009
The yard is now used by clwyd concrete block company and the haulage is run by Rob Hadfield transport of Buxton,
didnt Manor transport and there MANs used to operate out of there ? thank you Trevor .
Hi Trevor they had a yard back on the corner of the road back towards Hope, opposite the garden centre, used to be on the left as you went onto the ind est were Edge are now, before that Brian Hughes had a yard near his home/farm off to the right in the dip at the top of Ryden Hill on the same road, was mid 70s…used to run a lot of MANs wasn’t the dealer at gresford?
Anyone got any photos of WG Foulkes from Penyford? Had light blue motors
Hello steelboy , yes i remember now opposite gardencentre , that MAN dealer in Gresford , again i cannot remember there name but do you remember all those MANs they supplied to Bodfari , whist Hannaby up by Ffrith was one of the first customers .
Foulkes from Penyfford , wernt they bought out by some Scottish company ? I believe there tippers used to haul sand out of Stoddards at Llanarmon along with H Davies . And who were the people from Rhydymwyn who had ERF and Fodens on bulk tanker work , they would be in Stoddards as well . thank you Trevor
Trevor
MAN dealer was next to Crumps body builders , can remember their name either, yes bod fair had some fleet! remember those cut down DAF tipper bodies Willy bros had for the bolders at sea forth dock.?
I used to work with Russ Foulkes at Quicks before he drove for his old man, his brother had a 4 wheel AEC on the sand, they had the bulk of the work out of shotton paper, and WH Malcolm bought them to get the work! Russ is a transport manager for them now I think! Pete is other brother used to work in the family firm also nice lads had a smart fleet.
Can’t remember those with the tanks, do you remember terry Weldon when he had that F86 cab of the council bin lorry, massive sleeper!, on his little F86 unit.
Hello steelboy and OXO , yes that was it Border garage at Gresford .Steelboy i can remeber that project at seaforth , and i think Bushell of Halkyn may have been involved , remember those Deutzs they had ?
Foulks last wagons were those big Mercs , but they had 8 wheel tippers as well , the people at Rhydymywn was D P Williams , the quarry on the bend there . like to see some pictures of those .
Got to say i can not remember Terry Weldon . and now i have just remembered it was Ellis Davies with the Deutzs , and Bushells with those funny Dennisons . thank you Trevor .
