This is a shot of a tractor Ralph Jones used for shunting out of Oakenholt Mill in the 80’s
It had previously run out of the Mill at Disley.
A shot of the new trading title which Bibby’s created after the J & J Makin takeover, we had quite a number of these liveried tractors and Tautliners in service with the 3 Paper mills and the Converters at Rochdale. Initially in '85 we adopted the Blue and White for the the Makin division but Bibby’s preferred the Red and White ! They had excellent taste you see !!! Cheers Bewick.

By 'eck Dennis,any excuse to poach another’s thread with your pictures,there is a link I know,but it’s very tenuous!!!
David
A parasite is the correct term Dave ! Here.s ashot of one of the liveried T/liners we ran for Disley mill,after Bibby’s had sold it to Kruger a French canadian firm.
Later '80’s shot here of a Rochdale based C38 8 LXC engine ERF coupled to new single wheeled Task tandem.
And another,of a pair of Rochdale based ERF’s in the depot at Milnthorpe,the Rochdale motors mainly ran out of Flint and Disley Mills and ,of course the Converters at Rochdale.This is a rare shot to catch them at Milnthorpe,they probably had got up this end with pulp for the Mill at Beetham.
There is a proper link here Dennis, so post as many shots of your fleet as you like. I for one, enjoy the real down to earth shots of a proper hard working operation, which Bewick Transport surely was.
Regards Paul
Thanks for that kind comment Paul,don’t get annoyed with the wisecracks from some of the “stars” on the site they are only trying to be “politically correct” in their old age !!! Something none of them ever could be as long as they have a rear oriface !! plus they are tempting me to take the “bait”!!! Salt of the earth they are really ! Cheers Dennis.
Welcome Barry its took me 4 years to learn how to put pictures on dont worry about the pc brigade
This shot,I believe,definitely is a solid conection between ■■■■■■■ and N. Wales if Barry Waddy is correct with his Reg. Nos. YEC 314S Sed Atk 180LXB,DB 6spd.,Eaton 2 spd. We ran it from new in late '77 on the paper mill contract alongside a sister Sed Atk and some LXB & ■■■■■■■ Seddon 32/4’s plus a Guy Big J 180LXB.We eventually replaced these motors with Scanias so I guess thats why this Sed/Atk ended up in “bad hands” in N. Wales !!! The shot shows the SA stood in the depot coupled to a 36ft trailer loaded with Paper from Henry Cookes mill at Beetham. It looks like it already has a reload organised for back to the mill by the m/t pallets atop of the load.
mr bewick that photo of YEC 314 S was great we bought it from J W RATCLIFFE ASHTON IN MAKERFIELD ,WHOM MY FARTHER became very pally with and bought 70 percent of our lorrys from including two A licenses on an old thornycrofty 4 cylender petrol and a austin petrol ,i think he paid 2000 pounds each A LOT of money them days for what they were ex BRS,GREAT photo thanks thanks BARRY WADDY

Dennis I used to deliver reels of paper to Makins at Rochdale Halfpenny Street on the run in to the mill I think ? Also I used to load at a place at Disley, it was up a narrow road, the under a low bridge, Its was fiber drums for the pill factory at Morpeth would this be the same place you are refering to, Im talking late 90s.Regards Larry
