A very smart looking outfit Oily.
Cheers Dave.
Another one, less cover, same type of load, height of bags would say pelleted fish feed for the salmon farms, guessing and might be something else.

A series V1 Oxford, I ran a maroon one (LJO 205G) for many years when a young lad! 
It is still the newest car that I have owned.

That takes me back tom my mis-spent youth! I had one of those, used to run it on paraffin with a carb-full of petrol to get it going. Clouds of white smoke followed me everywhere!

Whitacres of Clough Street Hanley they were next to Chatfields Ford dealers.Very good body builders and did a lot of one offs and I remember one of their chaps building a cab frame out of Ash for Courtaulds Nice blokes Albert and Joe and I think they worked for Jennings.Vans were their thing and built for very well known Companys.
These photos are from their 50year celebration book and not too good.The refuse collection motor is based on the old Thames and notice the forward control conversion.There was a forward control vehicle that Chatfields had but I don’t know if they sold any but it looked quite smart.They were bought out by and I’m not sure which one but Frank Guy or Reeve Burgess both from Clay Cross.I think it was Reeve Burgess.It was closed down a bit later.
