Fruitex was bought by Turners (Soham) Ltd. They ran it for several years under the Fruitex name, but it is now Turner’s Donington (Lincs.) depot. it still does the same work, that is produce to wholesale markets.

Thanks Graham for the details on Fruitex and for the info on the ERF tanker.

marktaff:
Hi Dean,
Yes indeed this wagon and drag would have been a beast to turn in a tight space…if you mean Trenchards yard in Bournemouth it was a tight space…that trailer would have been on an A frame to.
Lovely pic though…a work of art
Regards Mark

I did mean Trenchards yard in Bournemouth Mark.
Thanks for the name for the merc.

Chris Webb:
Hi Dean.
Not sure whose the Guy BigJ tanker is,looks like a black oil tank as there is a lamp on top,they weren’t allowed on pet spirit tanks when I was on them. I’ve seen a photo of an AEC Mandator tanker in similar livery,maybe Graham aka Gingerfold knows? GO is a London C C reg.

Thanks for the name Chris.

CJA1:
Anyone recognise the Volvo tanker arriving at Poole docks ■■

Hi Dean The Volvo F7 , looks like it was a Hennessy Tanker from Mort Lane tyldesley Manchester, Certainly looks like his Livery? And The Sed Atki Tanker was deffo PTH/TF Outta there Southampton Depot, Heres another of said lorry with its Regular Dvr Trouti.

Thanks for the details “CJA1”

ERF-NGC-European:

Hi dean gammonds are based in Hereford they still going I used to load their trailers in the abbey,

Thanks John.

Retired Old ■■■■:
Someone may recognise the colours on the trailer ?

Hi, Dean. The powder tanker behind the white CF appears to be the last incarnation of R.H.Stevens, Macclesfield livery. The unlettered Daf is probably “on trial” (blagged!) just before they closed the gates for good.

Cheers “ROF” “blagged”

G’day Dean - great pics again, thank you.
Re the pics in France, I’d say they’re in Bolougne, but I could well be wrong of course.
Anyways, most of the vehicles have 59 or 62 number plates, which is Nord Pas de Calais department -

Cheers Keith

Morning Dean.

Bell Line drivers used to changeover at Symonds Yat in the 70s,they had marked out bays for parking.
I think Bevans of Newport was one of the main contractors for Bell Line at the Welsh end,not sure about Middlesborough.The ERF in the photo has a Cardiff reg.
