Hi Buzzer, That ERF would have been a very well painted wagon with a rich dark blue as the main colour with red relief as I remember. All Edinburgh and Leith based wagons seemed to be competing with each other when it came down to livery styles and turnout. However most hauliers throughout Scotland could boast an excellent livery with lots of fine details.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Hi GOM, there was a driver in my area who drove an immaculate Mk III AEC Mammoth Major, one Sunday night /early Monday morning he set off from ■■■■■■■ for probably Manchester after being in the village pub for some time as was the custom in the early 1960s, after about 12 miles he needed to stop and splash his clogs standing against the front wheel. Unfortunately he stopped at the top of a very steep hill called Doctors Brow on the B5305 Wigton to Penrith road, leaving the cab and the newly painted AEC quietly ticking over he just reached full flow when BANG the hand brake jumped off and the wagon rolled down the steep hill brushing the high bank on the nearside making rather a mess. A local bobby who had attended the incident told me of this occurrence later that day, he said that when the owner arrived he had never heard so much bad language the words “Oh dear” were never uttered !!
Happy Days, Leyland 600

Indeed, and what’s the betting that the overalls were British Long Distance Green? 
So many of us used to wear them in those days and, although they are a long distant memory for me, I have never replaced them with jeans. 
This Albion lorry of Fearns Transport of Barnsley is being signwritten by Yorkshire Artist Ashley Jackson. Ashley did many signwriting jobs to earn cash in his early days as a young and upcoming artist. He became fairly well known because of appearances on Television, including a regular art feature on BBCs daytime show, “Pebble Mill at One”, and was seen quite often on Yorkshire Television.
He still has a studio and art shop in Holmfirth, the location for “Last of the summer wine”

Was that shopping centre named after the same Mander who had a paint factory in Wolves?
