That’s Riding’s long serving tyre fitter ■■■■ Brewer checking the tyre pressures on Seddon Atkinson 4-11 4x2 tractor unit Reg No E530 NHG Fleet No 44 ‘Royal Star’ which was registered new on the 1st of June 1988 at a cost of £29,355.22p plus vat.
Powerd by a Gardner 6LXDT engine in line with a twin splitter gearbox it was driven from new by Bill Procter and remained in service with Riding’s for 10 years until the 14th of June 1996 after which time it was sold on to local dealer Syd Hartley for £950 plus vat.

Here’s ■■■■ Brewer again checking the tyre pressures on day cabbed Seddon Atkinson 401 4x2 tractor unit Reg No B240 VCW Fleet No 25 ‘Night Hawk’ which was registered new the 1st of September 1984 at a cost £24,826 plus vat.
This tractor unit spent its life running 24 hours a day, driven on nights by the late Ken Fryer, and on days by long time serving Riding’s driver Paul Smith.
B240 VCW was scrapped on the 1st of April 1993 with the Gardner engine sold on to Hartwood exports for £2,500 plus vat.

Thanks Gary

No afraid not although you would have thought one or two would have survived being so many in the fleet over the years.

gazsa401 · 30 March 2019 20:52

That’s a shame especially when you think that the last 2 Gardner powered Seddon Atkinson’s to leave the factory went to Ridings

One of David Hall’s of Bury shortly after they became part of the Nuttall group.
David Halls son John lived just up the road from me but sadly passed away last year.
I met him on numerous occasions and he gave me quite a number of pictures and info on his fathers company some of which is below.

Early days when David Hall’s father set up business in Walshaw near Bury.

A couple of David Halls Atkinson Borderers with David Hall & Sons Ltd Transport & Warehousing livery on the cab door but both sporting Nuttall headboards.

One of David Halls early Atkinson four wheelers being put to use during some building work on the premises in Bury.

Tuesday 1st of August 1972 and disaster struck when a fireman died while dealing with a huge fire which destroyed David Halls warehouse on Lower Woodhill Road Bury along with a number of loaded trailers.

The driver of the Gerry Jones Maggie name is Phil Humphries who sadly passed on last year.
He played football and was 1 of his first drivers.
This was after he was redundant from Brs Newport and rejoined Brs on the castrol contract that transferred to tankfreight and Phil went onto Rest Assured.
