I’ve told this on Trucknet before (apologies if it was this thread) but when pulling out of Haydon’s yard in Wharf Rd, you’d reach Biddulph High St a couple of hundred yards up the road. It was a T junction and when a gap appeared in traffic it was a sharp pull out on full lock, brushing the kirb on the opposite side.
One Saturday morning we’d just ‘washed out’ and spotting a gap, pulled off with a roar of Gardner powered ERF on full lock - unfortunately, about a gallon of cold water (tinted brown) sluiced out the corner of the cattle box and scattered Saturday shoppers all along the pavement LOL!
Leylands did not come much better looking than the Guard Bridge fleet, used to see them regularly coming down through Carlisle on a Sunday afternoo.

When I was in my early teens and worked at Croppers mill in Burneside their No 2 Paper machine used to make a regular order for Guard Bridge of high quality M. G. duplex wrapping paper,glazed grey on one side and blue on the underside,I don’t think Guard Bridge ran the same kind of Machine as the Cropper one and although the paper was for wrapping Guard Bridge product in it sure was a top quality paper which they would pay Croppers “top dollar” for but this was a reflection of Guard Bridge,you just had to see their motors up and down the road,always immaculate and well turned out as were many of the Scottish motors from other firms at the time.cheers Bewick.
I loaded from FVS in about 1970. They were Freemans, Volkers and Stuart then. I loaded in Middlesbrough with 20 tons of steel for Warrington on the Mastiff. It made a total of 29tons 5cwt, which shows how light the mastiff was with a double axle trailer. If I’d had Bewick’s single wheels I’d have been OK!
Sod’s law I got pulled at a weighbridge soon after leaving the steelworks!
However, oddly enough, they didn’t send me back, so I just carried on and unloaded in Warrington.
Still got fined and a bollocking of course.

Hi Dennis, There was also a Joe Williams Transport that was connected to FVS,On Church Road Stockton, Regards Larry.
In '69 I used to head back up to Scotland empty on a Sunday afternoon, ready to load timber in the st boswells area on Monday morning from my home town of Barrow where I’d spent the weekend. The a74 and a6 would be solid with Allison’s Freightlines heading south.
Anybody else remember them. Any photos?

Anne Preston can’t have thought much about FVS 'cause she made her Son David manager 
Do either Dennis or Larry know if Anne Preston is still running the firm? She remains one of my all-time transport heroes.

And I just bet you had a pair of six guns and a Stetson 10 gallon hat in the cab as well John 
Cheers Dennis.
Hang on a second Dennis, just lighting my cheroot and drinking my bourbon!
Then back on the horse.

Great lady,I bet she could “sup” you under the table in her prime ROF !!( I know I’ve come across her and Richard in London a time or two 
) I believe she has “retired” and handed over to David,but I’ll wager she still is the Guv’nor if the truth be known Cheers
