Hi dean,I like the radio 2 advert are great didn’t know they did that ,the stiller is one of Carlines trucks they had volvos and scanias

Hi DEAN
Can remember Industrial Latex running Volvo F88s and later a few ISO tanks. Vaguely remember they had ERF J series in the early years but this could have been contractors vehicles?
A mate of mine John Adare from Haulage Services Ballyclare NI used to reload out of Industrial Latex Heywood in the 1970s. Used to see a lot of Industrial Latex offloading at DOW chemicals Kings Lynn 1980s.

hi Geraint and Paul ,
According to my old uncle Chivers of Brynmawr ,also had buses and were members of the Monmouth Tipping group along with Stephens and Chambers hauling slag out of Llanwern .
Does any body remember Black Rock haulage ? tippers that worked on the construction of the Heads of the Valleys road ,and they too hauled out of Dunlop Semtex ,its remarkable the feedback on South Wales hauliers on Dean and Pauls thread ! MT

Hey MT …your old uncle and my old man…should get together…what with thier combined knowledge of South Wales hauliers…and perhaps start their own thread …!! lol .
Dad can remember Black Rock haulage …they had Leyland Octopus 8 wheelers …in the pale blue Dunlop colours …Geraint.

Hi ,would either of them remember Havard Farm Haulage from Byrnmawr ? ,think they had ERFs ,hauling out of Ebbw Vale ,always wondered what happened to them ,those old boys knowledge is formidable !! regards Keith

Hi Keith, there are some Hafod Farm F88/89 and F12s on the South Wales thread. I believe it was Billy who did a lot of Middle East work. Andrew probably would have more info.
As MT said, Chivers did run coaches as did Pontlottyn Transport and Parfitts of Rhymney along with tippers.
There is a member on here Rich? whose father ran out of Llanwern slag. There was a guy in Tredegar/ Ashvale who ran a bunch of 4 wheel KM’s grey with red roofs. Curly?
Llanwern Slag also had a tip in Merthyr Tydfil.

Paul

Keith and Paul Hafod /Havard Farm was also a subbie for Davies and Meredith and yes he had ERFs one being ex John Watkins Abergavenny ,their was also a Guy ,but not sure what sort ,good feedback MT

That was it, Rigid Containers I saw him at, thanks for jogging the memory!

His tralor is a Red one parked up at Farm in Welland near Malvern.

Ah,Caerleon,I remember it being signposted as “The Roman Fortress of Isca” - before by-pass days.

And yes,the Romans had gone by then in case anybody asks.

[unquote=“DEANB”]

Good afternoon all,

I would like to add:

to the best of my knowledge the following information is correct.

The Foden is one that was run by RH Roadstone, this was a joint venture between Redland and Hoveringham and the colours were a combination of the light green of Redland and the orange of Hoveringham.

The Seddon is a Dukes Mills of Bishops Waltham, near Southampton.

Dukes2.jpg930×628 170 KB

slightly older one.

The blue Seddon is Specialist Freight Movement.

Trucky Mc truckface:
And a cracking photo of a Scania Metroplitan. They did not last that long with LT. Rear end body rot. Also they only had 2 forward gears. Fast and faster . Cracking Bus. Shame the body was crap. Only one survives i believe that is with Ensign Bus in Grays and is preserved but comes out on running days and tube strike days.

A little bit about them here
