Tony and Leyland600 - thanks for the pointers to the Berresfords photos. I used to pass that yard regularly in the late 60’s/early 70’s during my days at Croxden Gravel (as was!). I would have loved to spend an hour wandering round there! Alas, such places are now long gone, although I suppose Rush Green is probably as near as you will get these days.

Leyland600:
Hi Oily, you have been motorhoming at sunny Silloth again. The photo locations are, Neil Garner about 1 mile from his base at Kingside Hill, I knew his father well way back, Tarff Valley near Longcummercatiff the home of the several times winner of Radio ■■■■■■■■■ annual Biggest Liar competition at Santon Bridge. Armstrong’s tautliner and milk tanker between Calva and Seaville (pronounced civil) - Blackdyke cross roads , RH Direct and Casson leaving Abbeytown for Silloth, again I worked alongside John Casson senior many years ago hauling cement out of Whitehaven, The DAF cattle float at Dian House cottage, Wheyrigg, both Tom French and Skitt near Causewayhead churchyard and Silloth aerodrome.
I bet you did not get sunburnt !!
Cheers, Leyland 600
Morning Leyland 600,
You mention Silloth Aerodrome, is that where they done motorcycle racing in the 60’s? If so I think my Uncle had a couple of good results there with his Matchless G50, Cheer’s Pete
Thanks to rastone for the pics 
, 1st pic previous page, Leyland Cheetah, we had them at W. Alexander & Sons Grangemouth depot fitted with AEC 7.7 engines, they could flatten the hills.

Make’s you back ache looking at this picture!
Hi Pete, thanks for the pic one handed, I’d be guessing dried hops (standard hop pockets were a lot bigger) sacks are a wee bit wrinkled to be anything heavier. remember sacks that size at the threshing, 4 bushels to a bag and approx 2 cwt depending on type of grain and there were men who could carry them.

Lucky escape for a chap who used to drive for me Tony Mapson, this is a Sea Route Ferry truck that went of a viaduct in Glasgow 37 years ago.
The two coppers on top were looking in the wrong place for the tacho card though, Buzzer.
