I think the Venture Atkinson is at Flint Hill, the building behind the bus was Temples Butchers Shop & Seymours Grocers. That building is still there today but all closed down. Happy New Year, pushrod47
Thanks Larry I suppose it could be Blackhill, I had relations lived there and used to go and stay when I was a bairn.My aunt learned drive grocery van in Consett during the war. Good training ground around Consett renowned for its snowfalls.
Have Healthy and Safe New Year.

I think it’s the road from the Mountsett/ Dipton junction past Harelaw heading for Anfield Plain. Regards Kev. Ps wherever it is I’m pleased I didn’t have to use a shovel to dig it out!!
Modern plastic snow shovels had not been invented then Kev, just heavy steel ones, get stuck in !!

Just moved this over from Buzzers post from today. Good pic of an Alfie Ellis AEC OBB 461F. I started my Apprenticeship at Ellis’ 1968 so this motor would have maybe been about a year old. We also had several Ford D1000 with OBB …F registrations although these never got painted in the fleet colours of Green/Black. This photo is a first as far as I’m aware of one of AW Ellis’ motors and very nice to see, I even remember the big puddles in the yard too! Happy days Franky.
