Ray Smyth:
A Bedford lorry of Morris & Jones, a large wholesale food company supplying grocery shops.
Nowadays, with racism being apparent and commonplace, I wonder what some characters
would say regarding the writing and painting on the rear of this Bedford ?.
Picture from Bootle Times Forum.

I am surprised that the Mods haven’t already removed this shot Ray as it has been on for over an hour----- must have caught them napping Mate ! :blush:

Aye not woke yet

I wonder how long the poor buggers were waiting to get loaded.

25 June 1986
A74
Crawfordjohn
South Lanarkshire
Sco
Redmoss Hotel.
Atkinson plough/gritter waiting for winter.
This is the old A74,downgraded after the opening of the A74 (M),and is now the B7078.
The scene is much altered now, the land this side of the building as been raised and turned into a large yard.
The Hotel itself as had something of a checkered career.

Apologises all round… This info is incorrect.
It is in fact Westons Garage at Crawford, also on what was then the A74. Southbound.
The garage is still there much expanded, though i believe it was a Cafe at some point.
The Redmoss Hotel is further North on the opposite aide,.
I am suitably chastised. !!!

I don’t understand. Do you want history rewritten on TNUK by mere Mods? Surely not, for heaven’s sake!

Thank you ERF, for your sensible non-racist comments. Ray Smyth.

Just a couple, Buzzer



ERF off for cab repair

A Bedford artic tanker from about 1949. I cant quite decide if the trailer is attached to
the Bedford with a 5th wheel coupling, or is it a Scammell-Hitch type coupling.
I found this picture on the Bootle History Forum.

Punchy Dan:

ERF off for cab repair

Possibly the fastest speed that it has ever travelled at Dan! :laughing: I used to pass him going out of Baslow, tip tarmac at Olive Grove depot and meet him still trundling down into Sheffield when on my way back empty.

Another picture from Bootle History Forum. Some of us Trucknet members may remember Hunters Foods products.
The only one that I can remember was a tin of what we called " Luncheon Meat ". With regard to the Hunters vans,
I know that the 3 Wheeler was a Reliant, but I cant identify the bigger van. Hunters large food factory was in the
Broadgreen area of Liverpool near Bowring Park Road, where nowadays is the last 500 yards of the M62, between
Queens Drive flyover and Broadgreen railway station.

Smart little lorry in it’s day by the look of it.
