Is this the company that devolved into Shawfleet Tankers?
Hi wheelnut
Not to sure about that but they did run some tankers I think they were on black oil products.
I’m sorry to go off the rails again 
Shawfleet are, were, in Slowitt. (Slaithwaite)
Used to reload plastic containers from Plysu early 1970’s, they had blue vans and a lovely Italian girl in the despatch office called Anna.
i think shaws became part of the sykes group.

Was that in the days of Gordon Crabtree? 
Hi Wheel Nut yes I was there the same time as Gordon had a lot of good times with him we went on holiday together several times.

A lot of beer gone under the gantry with Gordon, last seen pulling fridges with young Simmo and Jockey Mick. Do you still see him?
Pavilion Motors from Whitworth nr Rochdale,Anyone remember these? 
They were artic tippers carried quite a lot of scrap metal.I think they ran Mercs 
My old man drove for Shaws Fuels for what must have been nearley 30 years, it went from Shaws to Sykes bulk liquids, Shawfleet to Cawoods ( I think its CPL now ) . I spent many a day riding round with him in Scammell Routemans, Handymans, Trunkers, Crusaders, Fodens with 2 stroke engines, Gardner engines, Through the Volvo years then a daf 3300 and he retired on a Foden Tractor. I think i have a few pics somewhere i will try to dig out and post. If anybody has any pics please post them, i`d love to see them
