Hi deanb, I think it may be an age thing !!! Have you never gone into a room and wondered “why did I come in here” well, maybe some people, of a certain age, need to keep looking up at the subject matter to see why they are writing anything in the first place. Also considder RSI, However, I did like your reply

Dean, They still make wagon wheels, they used to be 10.00 x 20’s now they are more like 7.50 x 16’s, thieving gits!!
Hi all,
Rees &Kirby were structural steel suppliers,they definitely had a place in morriston,Swansea.they may have also had a place at Cardiff?? John Raymond did a lot of work for them,back in the day…
DEANB:
Burtons ERF. Do they still make wagon wheels ■■
They certainly do Dean along with Jammie Dodgers and Maryland Chocolate Cookies to name but a few.
Today Burtons employ over 2,000 people around the UK,in three main manufacturing facilities in Llantarnam, Edinburgh and Blackpool, a chocolate refinery in Moreton and a central distribution hub in Liverpool.
Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s Burtons ran a large in house fleet of their own including Atkinson’s and ERF’s.
Also throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s John Marsh & Son (Blackpool) Ltd/Blackpool Van Transport had a contract with Burtons
out of their Blackpool plant.

Hepworth’s date back to 1858 when Hepworth Iron Company Ltd was founded to mine iron and later produce sanitary pipes and fire bricks.
They had a huge clay pipe production facility at Crow Edge near Holmfirth West Yokshire and used a lot of sub contractors vehicles in Hepworths yellow livery.
In 2013 fifty acres of their huge production site at Crow Edge was sold to wood processing and recycling company R. Plevin and Sons Ltd.

There`s also a large part of the plant taken by a plastic company whose name escapes me but I think they are from the North East or have site up there.

That’s a Foden S80 operated by mail-order catalogue company Kay & Co Ltd, otherwise known as Kays.
The company had offices and warehouses in Worcester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newtown, Bradford, Bristol, Droitwich, Lancaster and York.
Great Universal acquired Kay & Company Ltd in 1937 and continued to run the Kays catalogue as a separate title within the GUS holding company.
On the 23rd of February 2007 Kays original depot in Worcester closed as part of the work to amalgamate Kays and Littlewoods under the new brand name ‘Shop Direct’.
Lancaster & Kelly Dodge. Is that an Isle of Man registration ■■
Lancaster and Kelly were Isle of Man hauliers at one time,then I think they went into household removals with a yard in either Glen Vine or Crosby. I’ve not seen them around for ages though.Not my photo…
Lancaster & Kelly are a removals, storage and shipping company based on the Isle of Man.
Here’s one of Lancaster & Kelly’s Atkinson’s parked in the graveyard on the Isle of Man.
Lancaster & Kelly still in business today.

Eastern roadways Scania. Are they part of the P & O Group ■■?
Yes they were - see last week’s essay on P&O
Eastern Roadways International was based in Ruskington and seemed to be more about heavy haulage than anything else. In my bit of P&O (Pandoro) we didn’t have anything to do with them operationally.
