Woodside
Am I getting mixed up with another Campbell or did he not finish his driving days with Noel Zwecker.?
Thank you erf guy for the picture of the handsome dennison one of two with that cab on that big Sam Bartlett ran iirc, one with a 240 Gardner possibly and driven by a scotch driver Jimmy mc Comb maybe , the other with a 265 rolls Royce engine driven by Bobby Herbenson from ballymena ,
Sam had another dennison I think with a plastic cab like a Dennis dust bin lorry iirc , but this didn’t last long as it had an accident around the barrlae area between glenluce and Newtown Stewart .
A question for Mcwilliam,i just noticed that youre from Moffat ,did ya ever take any photos o keith towers (CVL) motors from Moffat.

There used to be a removal firm from Northern ireland called Doreen I think, they had a yard in leeds just off dewsbury road. This was back in the mid 70’s, they were mainly scania’s does anyone. Remember them?

McFerrans went out of haulage in the early ninetys.
Didn`t think they would have lasted that long.

They didn’t go bankrupt they just went out of road haulage,
but they still carried on with their crane hire buisness.
