Thank you for the info, the depot at Ramsbottom may have been Knowles ? Regards Larry.
A couple shots of Mirfield, recognisable to some of you I’m sure.

I think it was Inter County Express at Ramsbottom who TNT took over .TNT were on Railway St i remember their large fleet of Marathons,Cormar Carpets were on the same street
I somehow thought it was station road Ramone, I remember coming off the motorway, passing Hinchcliffes yard with a row of Dennis four wheelers lined up, turning down a hill then turning left into the road with the depot down it. I finished there in 1988 & I miss the blokes who worked there, they were a good gang to work with.
You’re right about the Marathons based there, then came a fleet of ERF C series with the big high sleepers on them straight 8 Gardners in them. I think they’d have been Y reg. Long time ago.
