A Dennison or a Dennis? I think the latter.

These are Watsons built by the Henry Watson Highbridge Works in Walkergate, the company wasn’t a vehicle maker or builder but made Hydraulic Pumps and cranes from William Armstrongs designs in the mid 1800’s, the firm went on to make other engineering equipment and parts for ships then post WWI they launched a 3.5-4.5ton bonneted truck, these are the trucks in the photo and diagram below. I would think very rare if any at all survive today. The company also built the Berma Bus which I still haven’t found a picture of. Franky.

Does anyone know what make this unique vehicle is? It was the only one built. (Pete Smith isn’t allowed to answer!)

Heres a bit Graham about it from 1960.

That cab reminds me of an AEC, or have I lost it?
