Old companys from stoke -on trent

diggerjones:
0 this is bassets wrecker from stoke, i saw a pic of it in this thread somewhere. this is from today resting near my home.

Hiya…Diggerjones is that still on the outskirts of Leek■■? …i haven,t seen it for a while…will it fall apart like most things on that farm.
John…north wales ex Leek

no its near nantwich think the chap has owned it for a good few years. think everything is ok with it but as you can see they have built a mini steam railway around it

This one belongs to a friend but he very kindly lets me borrow it for shows, it used to transport paper from Shotton to Wapping and was sold by Bassetts in 2003.

Hiya…just thinking out loud …Knight and Riley. Longton. Long distance removals (part of Longton motor,s■■?)Has anyone got photo,s.
they was grey and maroon with gold sign writing. A chap i knew got a start for them in 69. it was a load of antiques from bolton to
madrid and we lived in Leek. He said am i better going through Macclesfield to get to Bolton or up the M6.

J Haydon - Wharf Rd late 1980s, near the end of livestock haulage days - left to right; Chris Williams, Tom Haydon, Joe Boon (in cab) Fred Haydon, Peter Taylor, David Haydon.

Tom passed away in 1993, David tragically in 2009 and Joe must be gone - good old lad Joe, worked for Haydons for donkey’s years.

Fred still lives opposite what was the yard but is now a Sainsburys that no one needed :confused:
