Hi Steve, quite a few fellow Brit’s live up around there. May well be able to reach them through TNUK, meet up and have few beers. Have a safe run down to San Diego. If you have a chance check out Temecula, south of L.A. north of San Diego, great downtown and vineyards.

Not sure this one would match today’s safety requests! Great picture.

I think that belonged, until very recently, to a coal man in Whitby, it ran tourist trips round the town every summer, winter time he changed the body and delivered house coal round the town

Not sure GOM I was in Holbrook leisure on the A11 when I took it a local chap owned it.

Hi GOM, is this the Whitby steam bus tourist service you are thinking of brought to a end by a council that denied a suitable watering hole for an attraction the town greatly benefited from dailymail.co.uk/travel/trave … uncil.html
the owners also ran a 1929 Dennis charabanc.

Another odd one.

A series of photos for those of us who like nostalgia. They were taken by Newmarket based professional photographer John Slater in the summer of 1953 to record the night operations of Fordham (Cambridgeshire) BRS Depot, which hauled produce to Covent Garden and other main wholesale markets. These photos concentrate on the Fordham flower loads; at the time there was quite a large market garden community among the villages on the Cambridgeshire / Suffolk border. some were sizable concerns, others little more than "cottage"industries sending just a few boxes of flowers to market nightly. Now virtually all of these flower growers have disappeared, just one or two remain.

Pile 'em high, featuring an AEC Monarch and Dodge Kew (Parrot Nose).

Nearly ready to go

Tail board is utilised to the maximum

Loading for Birmingham Market

All hand-ball sorting and loading

Traffic Clerks sorting the paperwork

Time for a brew before we go

Team photo (looks like a happy set of lads!) Dennis Clarke is back row, third left in front of cab rear panel, the lady pouring the tea, Ann, became Mrs Clarke.

Back at base next morning with empty flower boxes

I’m sure I’ve posted this before, but following on from above, my Albion when new in 1938, ran from the nursery in Iver, Bucks to the London markets

A bit different now with temperature control.

Ray Smyth:
This AEC appears to be from a BRS Liverpool Depot, judging by its number plate, and depot code on the door.
Its condition gives the impression that it is only used as a local shunter, or that if it has a regular driver,
he doesn’t give a “Donald” about his lorries appearance. Some may disagree, but that is my opinion.
Thank you to Eddie Heaton for the picture. Regards, Ray Smyth.

That`s a great “real” photo

-6 is about an average winter night time temperature where I live so that makes us a bit ‘nesh’ compared to what you endure on occasions! Keep the pictures and words coming!
