Northwall in Grimsby finished mid nineties? Seemed to coincide with dfds moving to immingham. CLS became part of PD Logistics and still have yard on Midland Rd in Scunthorpe. Don’t know about Smaller but remember the name.

I think Chris Smaller went out of the transport business around 2000, were they in Goole at one time?

Wheel Nut,can you recall A B M maltings at louth.They had many lorries,here is one my dad drove.

I remember the Malt Kiln at Louth in the 50s,near the railway station.It was originally owned by Gilstrap Earp,at least I think that’s what the company was called.The father of a school pal of mine drove for them but his name escapes me.
Is it still standing,it was a real landmark.

Frieghtmasters ran 2 of these scania 140 but were not from linconshire but denmark but based both in grimsby.
The drivers who drove them iain craig and rob osbourne would often tip melton mowbray then run empty to penzance to reload fish.

Hi Tanktrotter,heres a shot of the 140 taken in Port Talbot…any idea if the 112 is from Lincs?

Cheers Bubbs,
