An Atkinson artic parked outside of Henry Diaper warehouse on The Strand (Dock Road) in Liverpool.
At the end of the Diaper building where the loaded rigid lorry is parked is the entrance & exit of the
Branch section of the Mersey Tunnel, and St Nicholas Church at the rear. Being so near the docks,
this church was known locally as “The Sailors Church”. I cant make out who the Atkinson belongs to,
It could be one of Bowkers, whose lorries were frequently seen at Liverpool Docks.

I’ve got a thread going in the photo gallery section. But I thought I’d share a few with you on here…

I saw this 112 sitting at the side of the road a few days ago, I thought it had gone on fire but it’s actually the mobile hot mix truck…they reverse it into the gravel add the bitumen and it discharges over the top of the cab.

Driving through the enchanted Forrest…

112 still hauling poppies…

Welsh wagons

[spardo]

I spotted this coming up through Spain last week. At first I thought it was a B-double, this company does have some with 13 metre trailers I think, and as such, oversize. This requires them to have flashing lights on the top rear corners. Experimental I suppose. For comparison, the B-doubles commonly seen in France are normally 20ft+20ft, although I have seen a couple with longer 2nd trailers, but not as long as this.

So that is what fooled me, because this one had those lights, but on passing it turned out not to be, but a traditonal wagon and drag with a 5 axle 13 metre drag. Surely the most manouevrable such large vehicle both in forward and reverse motion.

Here is an oldie for today, Buzzer
