It looks like coal will not be the only thing that this fellow will be flogging soon. 
We used to call this bloke The Cordial Man or The Mineral Man or even The Pop Man. He used to sell Ginger Beer in those stone jugs with a wire stopper on the top.
There used to be one of these ‘Busman’s Canteens’ parked on Cannon Street, Manchester in the late 50’s/ 60’s.
Two very old, local ice cream men.
Tony Pandolfo, known by all the kids as Andy Pandy.
Not to be confused with this mega television star of the 1950’s who had twice as much personality as Ant and Dec.
I found a few pics on a long forgotten memory stick, apologies if I’ve posted them in the past,the Tarmac crew are working on the road outside my home. I think it’s about 5 years ago. Regards Kev.

Correct Dennis. 
The sad thing about pictures like this is that a lot of the people who lived in these slum areas at that time seemed to accept that this was “their lot”. I know that most large UK cities had slum housing but Glasgow seemed to be particularly affected by the shortage of decent housing. There were of course the “new towns” that arose after WW2 but moving there would, in most cases, require the workers in the family to also move jobs. As a lot of the employment in Glasgow at that time was in the heavy industrial sector this was not easy as the new towns were promoting the light industry that the enlightened sixties was supposed to have brought in - the “white heat of technology” took a long time to establish itself up here.
Despite some claims from the environmental lobby of the day, the transport planners did Glasgow a great favour when they decided to route the M8 where the did as it culminated in the removal of a lot of unsanitary housing, along with a redundant and overgrown canal which was a haven for vermin.

IIRC Nottingham City Corporation had a single-deck AEC Regal 11 in service as a staff canteen in the '50s.
EDIT to say I’ve found a pic of it online:
Fish tankers (2018 snaps), the catch gets pumped from the fish hold on the boat into the tanker and off to a processing plant, the firm will be familar to rigsby.

The bridge was the site of the ‘Great Train Robbery’ where the poor engine driver received life changing injuries. Ba*tards.

You were right to use quotation marks. Even as a teenager, I could not understand why the media were already referring to the ‘great’ train robbery. There was nothing great about violently assaulting a transport worker and it wasn’t a victimless crime.
Then almost glamourised in a film with Phil Collins.
If it sells newspapers, then anything goes.!

That’s confusing. I thought 6x6 AECs in the military were called Militants.
Another nice batch of photos Buzzer.
I remember two level crossings in particular,Blythe Bridge and Altrincham.You could be stood for what seemed like an age int 60s.
