In the 1950’s the S type Bedford did look a big lorry, even as a four wheeler. There was still a lot of smaller four wheeler’s carrying big loads for those times in certain area’s.
Cheers Dave.

Well this S Type used to run to RTBS At Llanwern with 10 ton of fire bricks from Henry Forsters at Backworth regular , The first loads were handball, Then they pallitized them which of course was a dream come true, We used to stop at the Savoy Café in Newport in those good old days, Regards Larry.
Hi Larry, it was a long hard road to Newport from Northumberland and ■■■■■■■■■■ in those days certainly a good full days work.
Cheers Leyland 600
