Hello
Welcome to trucknetuk 
You could also ask this chap paulanderson.fotopic.net/
He has lots of photos of wagons from the North West.
When and where exactly were Stanleys based, and what work did they do, and what were their motors like? That might help jog some memories. I worked for (my first job) W.R. Wilson Transport Ltd (Ardwick) in 1981-82, after they moved from Stockport. My motor was JND 587F.
I can’t say I remember seeing Stanleys but that could be because of my bad memory! Did you drive for them then?

Yes I remember Stanley’s Tranport, was it Station Road Ind Est at Reddish they were on ? I didn’t know they where origionaly from Ardwick though.
(Blue & White, general haulage flat wagons, all Leyland’s ?)
Sorry I’ve no photos of theirs.
Did they get took over by Onwood Transport sometime in the 70’s ?
When they closed down round about 1999, Geof Reyner’s (Droylsden) bought one of their old Daf 85 units, but only ran it about a month or so before useing it as the yard shunter.
And Davies Bros from Bredbury (White & Black - ERF/DAF - flats) then moved into their yard at Reddish ?
One of Bubb’s photos, of Priestner’s based at Carrington in the 70’s.
And Geoff Reyner’s from Droylsden.
If I remember there used to be a company called Stanley Transport based in the Chadderton area of Oldham I think they were in the same yard that TTX have now on Fields New Rd or Stockfield Rd, dark blue livery.
Didn’t Reyners have a yard in Farnworth too?
No, before Droylsden they had a yard near Manchester University.
From Droylsden they moved to Oldham, behind Park Cakes.
Then sold out to an off shoot of Holroyd & Meeks, (Safe Logistics) in Dec '05, and then they finished in April '07.

Does anyone remember a firm called Finneys from Manchester? They were traditional green, if I remember right the lettering was in yellow?gold? with red chassis. Smart wagons pulling flats, I used to load oil from Shell @ Trafford Park in the mid/late 80s & they were often in there.
Take a look at the thread OLD HAULAGE COMPANYS there is quite a bit on there about Finneys

You’'d be talking J & C Finney from Tyldesley? They used to load out of Beecham’s at Little Hulton too.

One of their LV-cabbed ERFs survived into preservation - I think John Wood in Bollington had it for a while, though I don’'t know where it is now. The reg numbers were always a round hundred, weren’t they? I think it was a member of the Finney family who used load trailers at Beecham’s with one of these old ERFs, and shunt them back to the yard. The lorry would probably have been getting on for 20 years old by then.
J & C Finney! Thats the kiddy, thanx u all, amazing how 1 photo can bring back so many memories, I am tying a dolly just looking at it! You can keep all your fancy custom spraying & chrome everywhere, you cannot beat a traditional British General Haulage wagon in trad colours.
how about BARBER TURNOCKS STOKPORT anybody,all the reg numbers finish 100 200 300 and so on.
