Swizzels originated from East London but relocated New Mills Derbyshire 1940 because of the blitz. I used to deliver Mothers Pride Bread to their canteen mid 1960s. I have since delivered many times over the years to Swizzels with machinery from Ireland. Later years edible oils but remember it was a pig of a yard and the product had to be blown up to the 6th floor. 1960s Seen many sugar tanker drivers having trouble discharging more product than air and ended up with blocked lines. The only way to unblock line was to take flex hose off and let product spill in the yard. Later Swizzels installed many air lines on inlets to assist the flow and solved this problem.
1960s and early 1970s visiting drivers were given free by sweets.

Owner driver from my neck of the woods Coalville leics I think. Usually pulled tipper trailer, retired now?? Cheers Coomsey
“Oily,this brochure may intrest you.”
Cheers Dean, that’s jogged the memory , Booty’s had a their yard in Ferry Rd., Marston, Oxford, went there for a job once, a rough place that was. Later had a chap as a trailer mate who had worked there.

My dad drove for Bootys, a BMC 701 dropsider. It was all over blue but not signwritten, he lived in Reading and rode to Oxford on his 50cc Victoria moped on mondays and parked the lorry in Reading during the week. First pic I have seen of one of their trucks. I did many miles with him, London mills mostly. He broke down in Trafalgar Square one day, the Eaton two speed axle became stuck in neutral. A Copper on point duty removed the little plate from the axle change unit and wedged into gear with some wood to get him moving again! Do the Police still do that I wonder? 
I remember being at Ranks in Silvertown and this strange truck pulled in and everyone crowded round it, it was the first Bedford TK that anyone there had seen! Why didn’t they catch on eh?
Pete.

Kammac International Volvo. Were they based in Southampton,as i remember seeing them around that area alot.5
Kammac were based in Burscough, they had motors outbased all across the country. The ones you saw in Southampton were outbased motors driven by Dave and Guy Morgan, used to park in Lorraines if I recall.
Was probably the best job I ever had in the 80’s.
Its always great to see some pics of these.

I remember when I was in RAF and thumbing it home to Sheffield winter 1960.I’d just baled out of a ERF KV of Staples Brothers from Sibsey Lincs at the A57/A1 island near Worksop about midnight.I walked round the corner frozen to death and presently this space age wagon came round the corner and stopped,a brand new TK unit of Tower Hill Transport from Boston. Talk about nice and warm in that cab.
It was even warmer at top of Swallownest hill with a tandem axle trailer loaded with spuds for Sheffield and Manchester markets - slightly bent in the middle.
Back then we worked for Kammac subbing, hired a tall taught liner for the job and loaded a lot of market produce up to Manchester and the like and reloaded out of nananco usually to dock gate 10 in Southampton but sometimes to Dorchester. Dave Morgan was the driver aka “The Fireman” as he did not hang around but when he started on a Sunday up the road he would dedicate the whole week to the job, never bothered about a dodgy night out even if he was at say Winchester, he as you said later drove for Kammac and his brother too but he ended up in Holland and sadly a couple of months ago took his own life, RIP Dave Morgan, Buzzer.
Thanks for the update Buzzer, sad to hear of Daves demise, he was a great bloke, his most famous saying was “I got it lite”.
We used to load often out of dock gate 10, cans of pop, cant remember the name of the company though.
RIP Dave Morgan
