Hi Dean, The Ainscough ERF is from Ainscough`s flour mill at Burscough, Lancashire, on the A59, north of Ormskirk.
I don’t know about elsewhere, but around here, the names of Ainscough and Burscough are pronounced Ainsco and Bursco.

The Sylva Springs Fiat has a Bournemouth Reg number, probably from down your area, where a lot of watercress is grown. Regards, Ray.

[ray_smyth]

The Ainscough ERF has an “A” type logo on the cab door, I think that Ainscough became part of Allied Mills.
Gingerfold and Flourpower will be better informed than me regarding flour millers. Ray Smyth.

Correct Ray, Ainscough’s were from Burscough and they were part of Allied Mills, the flour mill closed some years ago but part it did remain open as a blending and packing facility.

Suedehead:

Hi Dean and Suedhead,
Yes JR Smith were from Tring. …they were originally furniture Removers …but we’re mainly new office furniture carriers …ran a fair size fleet artics box vans and furniture vans…Scania’s and Bedford Tks back in the day.

Thanks for the info on Ainscough Ray. There was a Fiat dealer in Parkstone so you may be right about the Sylva Springs Fiat Ray.
The name does not ring a bell with me,but then again i was only a nipper.

whiplash:
Dean,
McGregor Cory was part of,or very closely aligned to Transflash McGregor(Bradford area H.O. if I recall).The name on the door, Ocealn,was part of the Ocean group.
Strange that a freight forwarder had a tipper,but there ya go.
The whole lot was merged eventually into MSAS,which,once again if I recall, stood for "McGregor Sea and Air Services.
Cassin Road Transport in Ireland was also bought out.
As happened with most freight forwarders,the world getting smaller etc.,P & O Nedloyd,Excel Logistics, and eventually DHL were merged.
Think that`s very roughly the story there!

McGregor Cory owned Henry Longs at Bradford for a time now Transflash became part of Longs but i’m not sure if it was Longs or McGregor Cory who took them over .McGragor Cory were part of the Ocean group who eventually sold Longs to Albert Fisher

DEANB:

Dean, the Rank Hovis flour mill at Southampton closed at the end of December 2018, with Rank Hovis walking away from the remaining open market business it had. They have kept their Wellingborough mill to supply their own Hovis bakeries with flour, and they sold their Trafford Park and Selby mills to Whitworth’s.

Hi DEAN
Could be Alan Sevilles or Savilles Tanker who were based at Leigh Lancs. Used to see their drivers in the yard when I worked at Kraft Humko Westinghouse road Trafford Park carting in crude edible oils from Humko Terminal Mode Wheel Road Weaste Salford. PURA foods Blackwall. They had done a bit of work out of Peeless Refining Dunning Bridge Road Bootle.
They also did a bit of tanker repair and maintenance.
Yet again this was 40 years ago and often wrong?
