My father used to use that layby where the BRS ERF is resting to let the old Seddon cool down after plodding up Marlborough hill on his way back from Avonmouth.

It’s a wonderful photo, I wonder what the old fella was thinking while he was sitting and having a break. Those were the days where you got your notes and off the went to get the job done.
Happy days.
Thanks to pyewacket947v, Buzzer and robthedog for the pics

Buzzer, on my first visit to London with a lorry in November 1962 when the Dairy Show was being staged at Smithfield I experienced SMOG for the first time which came as quite a shock. I had heard other drivers talking about it when loading at the paper processing plant in Whitehaven but did not give it much thought however when getting nearer the city with that first load I had a rude awakening. London Transport employees standing at major road junctions with flaming torches directing buses down their various routes and taffic lights glowing like ■■■ ends in the dark. I had 22 drops talk about a baptism with soot !!
Cheers Leyland 600.

I had to walk to primary school in that, what with that and living in a damp old house with coal fires, no wonder as a kid I had a bad chest every winter! And excitement one morning as I arrived, on the crossroads by the school, a van overturned in the road and an Esso Bedford OSS artic drum carrier from the depot at the end of the road in the front room of a house opposite, crashed in the murk.
Happy days!

Bit of a long shot, not sure of the model.
But definitely a Scammell.
