Thanks to Buzzer for the combine photo pic 
I was a bit reluctant to believe a combine could work at such an angle, hey how wrong I was, brilliant vid of the action here youtube.com/watch?v=Y23aMODZM0M

Hi Tyneside, a Nimmo’s Ales 6 wheeler Dennis Pax here en.wheelsage.org/dennis/pax/v/pictures/uoy5gj
Whitbreads had at least one similar.

Nimmo’s were one of many breweries taken over by Whitbread when they were expanding by buying up lots of smaller breweries in the '60s. They used loads of those 6 wheeler Dennis Pax across the group, same sort of gross as a maximum weight 4 wheeler but small wheels for low loading height, a bit of a brewers special.

OilyThat cab reminds me of an AEC, or have I lost it?
Does look a bit like a Park Royal cab but it’s Dennis’ own fibreglass design. Mate rolled one (tanker) down a bank when a site road gave way, it cracked up a bit but he got out OK.

Thanks Bernard. I was in a car with me dad as a boy of about 10. It was wet cobbles in the east end of London. We were going round a right hand bend when we skidded to the left. N/S wheels hit the tram line and over she went. Several blokes put her back up and off we went again. I think we lost a couple of door handles. The worst of it was me dad landing on top of me.

An early Turners wagon photo from the collection of Alan Sturge.

That’s one of several AEC Mammoth Major Mk.111’s that Turners operated and it’s probably loaded with raw sugar in this photo. Raw sugar was hauled from some of the East Anglia beet processing factories for further refining at Tate & Lyle Silvertown, or Tate & Lyle Liverpool.

First two photos are Robsons Flour Mill Sunderland. I had heard of this company but they either ceased trading or were taken over many years ago
Last photo was taken during removal of a railway bridge in Sunderland. Not sure who was doing the work but there is a Foden there. The town was crisscrossed with many mineral lines, mostly for leading coal down to the river. Most of the bridges carrying the lines over roads were fairly low and as the pits closed the lines became redundant and so the bridges were removed to allow better traffic flow.

Robsons of Sunderland went bust and was bought out of administration by Spillers, who restored it to profitability

Hello Tyneside, can’t help with the location but Spillers took Robsons over in about 1937 / 38, and the mill finally closed in the early 1970s. I have a photo of 1912 Leyland of Robsons but it doesn’t have an address showing. I’ll post a photo of it when I get my own computer back from the repair shop. 
Hi Tyneside, the light coloured building on the extreme left of the Thos Hedley’s photo was this the goods inward bay for the factory, I have recollections of delivering chemicals from Marchon Products there circa 1968 ■■ with my Foden S21 8 wheeler, while in there a Smith & Robinson LV cabbed ERF 8 wheeler tanker was delivering Hydrocloric (I think) acid. Perhaps Larry will know ?
Cheers Leyland 600
