Hiya…big ford dumped
faithful old girl this was at a main cross roads with about 4 cafe,s there must have been 200 trucks there
couple here just british trucks still working
i think thats about all i managed to get. in the next to last photo see the chap making stones.
these chaps have a few boulders delivered, the lads set about them with hammers making
stones(■■■■■■■■) they pile it up in sizes ready for builders to buy…see that happening in the UK
they’re just there day after day smashing rocks into small pieces. what they call an hammer is
just a lump of iron with a piece of re-bar for an handle

Both these are still in use,The ERF tipper runs out of the quarrys in Buxton daily,I took this photo just after he had made a delivery into the Rochdale area not to long ago.
And this one of Limberts passed me just last week near knutsford services.
now and again i see a 1960s LAD cabbed Albion 6 wheeler rigid crane-lorry trundling up the M1 around Leicestershire 
surely someone else on here has seen it around?
reddens scrap merchants in wellingborough , run a 2 axle E reg ERF skip motor and also a 3 axle sleeper E series ERF converted to a skip motor. just never have my camera ready, the 2 axle is a sight to behold , still has the original paintwork , well faded now.
Saw an E reg Volvo F16 in Watford this morning, looked tidy.
I saw this 1980 F12 in Warwick services recently, went over & had a word with the driver who told me he was 76, the lorry was still in regular use and he was just on his way back from RAF Benbecula on the Outer Hebridies. Despite being 34 years old it looked immaculate.

Is it a blue one? There’s a very smart one operating around Derby, that works most days, When I was an apprentice fitter a few years ago I’d do craning with him regular, he’s a top bloke who has got another for spares, the pictures are on Flickr I think.
Another place I worked at used to use an od quite regularly for moving machinery . He ran a lovely G-registered f10 rigid with a huge hiab. I’ve seen it about quite recently loaded so it’s still at work.
Used to see an 80’s red Leyland? Rigid around Oldham, not sure if he run tissues around.
Barrett’s in Oldham have a couple of 80’s ERF’s knocking about.
