Sea Serpent, Jack Easton, Better known as ‘Johnie Onions’
A real gentleman in the world of reefer haulage,
Always wore a black beret and a knitted jumper.
Always had time for a chat…the trailer was also painted
with a giant sea serpent, which i heard Jack did himself,

Two “cracks” from 4-feet of scaffolding tube on the wheel brace bar did the trick.

I had a torque wrench like that in my tipper days!

Do you think this truck is overloaded or is it that the air bags have let it drop, Buzzer

I’d bet a shilling that it was overweight. Those compressed straw bales are heavy.

I’m most surprised that,I think,Hydrocon is still there,I used to live in Weaverham and used to pass that way sometimes going to Northwich from the M56.
During the winter months,there is an Xmas tree lighting display up high on the end of the jib,bit of a land mark.

A proper mongrel.

Paint your Wagon, all credit to Peter Schöler for the photo.

Two pictures from the same location in Liverpool in the 1960s. The 2 Liverpool Corporation Leyland Atlanteans
are about to turn right into Ranelagh Street, and the bronze naked man statue on Lewiss building on the left is known locally as " Dickie Lewis ". He is standing on the prow of a ship, probably with Liverpools seagoing history.
The TK Bedford is Bradleys, Men & Boys Outfitters who I think were from Chester. It has a Chester number plate.
