Walker Bros of Wigan made specialist products for various types of industries.
The factory produced and installed all of the parts and electric motors for the
extraction of foul air and exhaust fumes in the first Mersey Tunnel in the 1930s.
Walkers also made Pagefield Lorries complete with dustbin collection bodywork.
One of the long bays in the picture showing the Pagefield mobile crane was my
transport depot from 1990 until 1994. Click picture twice to enlarge.

Thanks Eddie for your very interesting reply. I looked on the Gracesguide thingamy and found lots
of items that I had not seen before. Walkers factory was eventually taken over by Walmesleys from
Bury, possibly in the 1950s or 1960s. I remember putting some pictures of the factory on the Wigan
thread here on Trucknet. My wifes father, Herbert Martlew worked at Walkers in his later years.
Cheers, Ray.
