Hi all just a quick message to let all of you who knew my dad that he sadly passed away suddenly on 18th, to say the whole family are devastated is an understatement.
We are just having a small family cremation as its what he wanted and I’m sure you can all understand we have to respect his wishes
So sorry to hear about your Dad, Geordie was always smiling and happy to help anyone. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Regards Kev.
Thanks kev much appreciated, they certainly broke the mould when they made him thats for sure.
My dad drove one of these Albions for Caladonian for many years out of the Felling depot on tramp work with a refer.
He used to come home in the middle of the night and the motor on the fridge was off and on all night, kept us kids awake.

Hi Geordies Boy! Your dad worked ar Crows in 1964 when I was there as a lad, what a good bloke! I remember his brother Harry worked there too, I still see him occasionally at Low Fell. Harry and Kit finished there long distance driving for Simpson Brothers Birtley. Kit used to work for Waugh for years and Ash Transport (Alfie Horne). Harry and his dad also used to work for McFees. It was nice that all the family were involved or worked in North East transport.

Here’s some more old photos. I believe the Volvo was new to Sidle Cook. Does anyone remember Caladon, used to see them quite a bit years ago, don’t know where they were from.

Thanks for the photos Ray.
Yeah my dad also worked for Mcfees, he tried to discourage me and my brother from getting our hgv licenses but it was bread into us lol
Yea
Here are some great old Scottish hauliers. I always thought that Pollock had the best liveried motors in the country.
Vulcan Lorries of Newcastle Corporation early 1900’s the BB Newcastle registration went from Jan 1904 to Jan 1925 so not a great help but headlights were fitted at the front after WWI so likely pre war. Franky.
