The Albion sugar company photo is superb Buzzer!
DIG its hard to judge the weight of livestock but some dealers who buy all the time would not be too far out, as it happens I have just bought a scale that fits under the crush so when we ran my cattle through on Thursday we were accurate on weight and the vet injected them for worms according to results so we were spot on. In the end we were having a guessing game as to the weight of a particular beast going through.
On a six wheeler as the picture i would say the truck is at least 12ton empty but could differ if it has decks so at 26ton gross you have a payload of about 14ton but some would have a better estimation than me & if they weighed every load they probably would not make any money,

This is an " O Gauge " model railway layout by Simon George. It is Heaton Lodge Junction, to the west of Mirfield
in West Yorkshire. The model is almost 200 feet long and thought to be the longest model railway layout in the UK.
The layout will be on display in Wakefield Cathedral for 2 weeks from December 4th, and I believe it will go on tour
throughout the United Kingdom. Well done Simon George.

This was on the Hornby program last Monday on Yesterday Channel. He’s made a superb job representing the 80’s era, the full layout is housed in an old factory. My Son lives not too far from Mirfield. Franky.

Thanks for that I ,m basing my weights on cattle of 30years ago in the Kimberly and Northen Territory where the grasses of our stations isn’t as beneficial to the herds as your protein grasses so the cattle are possibly heavier at the same age, we worked on a rough guide of the dressed weight was half the live weight.
It wasn’t until my last years in the cattle transport industry that we charged by a deck rate rather than a a head rate this allowed us a bit of leeway in how many we loaded and the cattle weren’t jammed up to much and travelled more comfortably.
A ball park figure of 24 head per deck 48 per 40foot trailer was about the norm that has possibly altered in todays world with the Volume type crates now produced saving inch here and there by the manufacturers but the same as your selves a detour over the scales could always result in a fine.

Two great pictures Steve, particularly the first one. The bus is Salford Corporation, but the Foden lorry caught my eye.
I could see that it has a Sheffield number plate, and I managed to see that it had " Jubilee Stout " on the side of the cab.
It made me think, how many Trucknet members could remember Jubilee Stout, It was similar to Guinness and Mackeson
stout , but much smoother. It being brewed in Sheffield, I was wondering whether it was available throughout the UK,
or was it mainly sold and supped in the North of England. Cheers, Ray.96 Salford bus from Whitefield to East Didsbury. Used it quite a few times. Jubilee stout I would think would have been Hope and Anchor Breweries Sheffield. Picture may be Stockport road Longsight, near to Slade lane junction, but not sure. I remember Jubilee stout very well, Used to deliver it round the Greater Manchester area and a bit beyond when I worked for a Wines, spirits and beer merchant.

Hi Ray,how are you?
Aye Hope and Anchor brewery were on Claywheels Lane Sheffield,taken over by Bass Charrington.You could get Jubilee Stout in some London area pubs,being a Sheffielder I used to shove one into that London crap beer to liven it up.
Hi Chris, I’m well ta. Hope you keeping well, as well. As for the beer in London…Ditto. I remember an advert ‘oop narf’ for Tetleys. A group of he-men called Tetley bitter men. (If you can’t beat 'em join 'em) Seen exactly the same advert in London (darn sarf) But it was for Courage Bitter men. No comparison.

I remember it Chris, but am struggling to remember where it is/was, never went in myself. Gazsa will be along in a minute to remind/inform us.
Regarding ‘The Trip’, I remember another famous pub not many yards away from it, which also claimed a very old history. ‘The Salutation’. I think a lot of students from the nearby art college used to gather in there.

There would still have been that old steam-operated carousel at the Gregory Boullivard entrance to Goose Fair when you went I remember the candyfloss and the sickening lurch you experienced on those huge (for those days) swing-boats!
