I put some George Bloomer photos on Peak District site and just seen “put’ em on here as well” so here goes…
I worked for George for a few months in 1994 and had an E14 D801 PHD with twin splitter,what a great tool that was even at 8 years old.Photos were sent to me by my old pal Gordon Howarth who is well into his 80s now,and who worked at A E Evans same time as me.George was an ex A E Evans driver who went on his own working for Staveley Chemicals.When I worked for him in 1994 a lot of the runs I was familiar with from Evan’s days,Staveley Chemicals and Bitmac of Scunthorpe and Llanwern.A typical day would be run from Barlborough to Llanwern,tip crude benzene and clean out,reload pure benzene and run and tip ICI(Zeneca) Huddersfield or back to Barlborough depending on hours.Some were double shifted,tipping Hudddersfield early evening and then either reloading crude benzene at Appleby - Frodingham Scunthorpe or BSC Redcar,South Bank Middlesborough or Tees Storage Seal Sands for Llanwern and back to Barlborough.
Sermon over…Great pics Chris,thanks for posting ! You mentioned Staveley Chemicals,heres a Foden advert featuring

Just a few more of George Bloomer’s wagons…Hi Chris
What happened to Bloomers are they still on the go?
No Spud,he started packing up slowly when Staveley Chemicals closed the BTC plant (benzene,toluene,cyclohexane) and then Bitmac,who were benzole refiners, closed the two refineries at Scunthorpe and Llanwern.I believe he ran a couple of vehicles just to keep two long serving drivers in work but I left him in 1994 so I’m not too clear about the situation. We don’t have many,if any,coking plants nowadays either,maybe one each at Port Talbot,Redcar and Scunthorpe,not sure,and that’s where the crude benzene came from for refining - Staveley were the biggest refiners of it for years.They were the company that made the cyclohexane for Nypro Flixborough which was devastated in an explosion in 1973.
Thanks Chris
I worked for Suttons from 1996 and saw the odd one around when I visited the Staveley depot, long since gone as well
Having been saved from Rush Green for preservation CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO showing the first start attempt of PHL 43X since 1988.

Looks like they were trying to jump it off a battery,needed to be off another truck Paul. The green
Seddon Atkinson in the background looked tidy from what you could see of it. I wonder if that was
saved. Thanks for posting Paul.

The Marathon is one of Albright and Wilsons,it’s got a EE Grimsby reg so would think it was based at their Barton on Humber site.

I was told it was taken at the Coldra roundabout at the A449/M4 junction at Newport MML,so not sure pal.Maybe one of our Sth Wales lads can confirm.It does look like it.

Its definitely not the Coldra as it is a concrete wall all the way down the slip roads not an embankment as in the picture.
Here’s a couple more taken at the same location, i am intrigued as to finding out where it is for certain.

Hi dean ,I think the cattle wagon is the same as in the erf belonging to Golding as colour and signwrighting the same cheers John
Apologies for the delay but I’ve been on dog sitting duties at the sprog’s. Smallcoal is absolute!y correct in his assumption: both vehicles were part of the R H Goulding fleet from Newent, Glos. The livestock Albion Clydesdale was driven from new by John Blewitt until he got an ERF four wheeler with trailer, both fitted with Thorne’s livestock bodies. The ERF artic is one of about half a dozen similar vehicles supplied by Richard Read and on this occasion seems to be hauling empty boxes from Coleford to one of the local farms ready to be filled with black currants for Ribena.

Mr , BEWICK ,I Remember that j reg atki comming into flint Regularley they also had 6 wheeler with the s ame cab and 180 engine happy days they were a good set of lads , Cheers BarryHiya Baz , hope you are keeping well mate ! No doubt you will remember the Makin fleet but I just bet you didn’t like seeing them at the Flint mill
Did Makins run an AEC Marshal with 760 engine? I used to stay in digs at Neath and would have a pint or two with a Makins driver.I’m sure he said the Marshal was a cancelled overseas order.
AEC Marshalls with a downrated AV760` s were called Marshall Majors I think

I’d like to know too. I wondered if the Ridings SA410 was en route to Pontypool with plastic pellets from Wilton and if George Bloomer was en route to Bitmac Llanwern with crude benzen - pity I can’t see the hazchem label.Also Bell Line were associated with Newport as well as Middlesborough.So could the photo be anywhere around the Trunk Road A174 Teesside area? Bloomer loaded crude benzole out of Redcar and South Bank as well as Seal Sands.Just a thought.
