nice one Brian

I was quite interested in the earlier posts about Cape Insulation. I worked for a small company called TR Transport in the early 80’s. I had an ex Elddis 1619 Merc which was WFT 754T and later an ex Elddis F10 with a very similar registration number. Perhaps someone knows who drove them originally. They also had a 16.232 MAN which I think was ex Monarch Transport. We later got two new Seddon Atkinson 311’s with 10 litre ■■■■■■■■ Most of our south bound work was out of Cape, Washington, we mostly did the south west. Back loading out of Western Freights Bristol or Bartletts Bridgwater and also Quantock Preserving, Bridgwater. We also did a lot of polystyrene packaging for a company called Trondex at Northampton. I certainly remember Ridleys of Allendale ran out of Cape Insulation as well as Capes own Bedford’s and also Shepherds did quite a lot out of there. I remember one of their drivers was a character called (i think) Sammy Livermore.
These are the only two that I have pictures of.

Is that the same Harry Peverley who was a fitter at Gordons of Stakeford? I seem to remember that he could give you directions to anywhere via pub names!
