Like those Pinches shots, Reminds me of the days we used to cross paths at Sainsbury Supermarkets
when i was driving for Salvesen out of Droitwich Spa,
Most of them had names across the front, ‘Italian Stallion’. The Undertaker’,
Story as it that Mr Sainsbury did not like it, wrong image, …

Those Pinches lads never hung around, I seem to remember they got their collar felt when they had a tacho check and there was a lot of excessive speeding across the fleet!

Surprised to see them still hauling,

Hi “tyneside” These are good photos, The Adamsez Maudsley based at Scotswood , Wardels Transport had a Thornycroft 4 wheeler with slatted high side boards for hauling their toilets etc, Allways packed with straw, I think some of their products could still be in use around the country, Regards Larry.

More on the Agricultural front this is a rare tractor with only 5 made between 1978/9, the Universal wheel tractor from the “IIyich” tractor plant St Petersburg it had a four speed transmission and a V12 YH2 engine which it says produced 8403 hp but that sounds a bit strong to me, Cheers Buzzer.

A busy scene at the Mersey Tunnel in Liverpool in the 1960s. About to disappear down the tunnel is what
looks like a Ranks 8 wheeler flour bulker on its way to Rank Hovis flour mill at Birkenhead. A rigid flat
carrying an insulated container, and a car transporter are at the toll booths, and a Bedford van that looks
like one of many that were in the fleet of W, H, Smith ( Transport ) on contract to the Liverpool Echo.
I cant identify the artic with the sheeted load.

The tunnel was built with 4 lanes, 2 each way, but during peak times, the traffic in the morning busy period
was 3 lanes from Birkenhead, and just one lane the other way. This picture shows the evening peak period
with Birkenhead bound traffic using 3 lanes, and just 1 lane of traffic exiting the tunnel.
Picture from Bootle History Forum.

Hanging by a thread, not sure I would like to exit the cab like that what if the rope is thirty feet short, Buzzer
