This was a lovely fleet . Were they taken over/buy-out or did they just close down?

Past these couple of Gordon Gilder’s between between Gloucester & Ross-on-Wye. Anyone got any idea what they are carrying?

That looks like the village of Huntley, in which case it’s quite safe to assume that they were going into the Forest of Dean otherwise they would have gone through Newent, I would have thought.
Not a clue what they’re carrying but judging from the position of the suspension it looks as if the two items constitute quite a bit of weight, so it seems likely that they are steel fabrications rather than concrete or fibreglass.
Put us out of our misery and ring Gordon!

ADR. K C Williamson were naughty boys and got raided by the ministry and after the drivers court cases and then the firms they were forced to shut the doors they worked more or less full time for HAYTON COULTHARD and as they had been chasing Williamson’s boys on it was only a matter of time till they were looked at and we all know what happened them eventually.
