Old North East haulage companies (Part 1)

Hi Lawrence, why not try a visit to The Hexham Hilton, a great place to go if its a new knee you are wanting, two days in and out plus a bit of pain afterwards and some proficient physiotherapy and then you will be as good as new. Mind you they will offer lots of little plastic thimbles full of morphine instead of a Highland Malt trouble is it makes you see little green men running over the carpet and the the back of the armchairs. but it does numb the pain.
Cheers Leyland 600

Can i just say that “Oiltreader” gave me his invaluable help in choosing a dashcam for my car back in December and it still stands ontop of my printer waiting to be fitted :blush: . I’m hoping to fit it shortly and record the local tippers (especially) around East Durham quarries.I’m also hoping to post pictures of the quarries, both past and present aroundabout.

was it harrisons larry on the quayside next to roundabout near swing bridge that used to make the sheets, i remember going down the stairs to the cellar to collect new sheets when i was at shortys

You are correct, in the basement of Lloyds Bank Chambers. I think their correct name was Harrison Sailmakers.

Tyneside

If the grey cells are still working correctly, I think it was T & R Harrison.The downstairs became an Italian restaurant after Harrisons finished.

Thats correct, They moved to Foundry Lane by the Ouseburn, Alfie the eldest brother died before the move Arthur along with Brian Hedley who worked there from leaving school kept going until Arthur retired, Brian than move into a new Beehive Unit still on the ,Ouseburn, He then moved the machines to Bedlington where he lived He still traded as T.R.Harrison he was still making wagon sheets ,IIRC, 2003, Regards Larry.

Brian is still going strong, behind the 3 Horseshoes next to Shankhouse near Cramlington. Nothing is too much trouble for him!

Thanks used to for the info, I will have to call in and have a bit crack with him, He used to repair our wagon sheets, Regards Larry.

Some of my old rides and the firms I´ve worked for.

Went onto website imcdb.org about vehicles in movies etc. And yes comments are right it’s absorbing and time flies by. So was happy to find this shot of one of Arthur Sanderson lorries in their original colours. My father and uncles worked for them and spent my childhood in them but have rarely seen any photos. This particular Atki would be one of a pair RPY 588M, the other being 587M and was ■■■■■■■ powered with Fuller gearbox. Would have mainly being used on daily changeover between Great Broughton and Derby with the Newport depot in South Wales.
Sandersons were taken over by R Durhams of Teesside and the fleet was repainted /rebranded around 75/76.
