Hi Dean,
Hope you are well?
Cracking articles and photos’ as always mate, thanks for your time spent posting them.
The Volvo is one of K.T.C edible oils based in Wednesbury West Midlands, Cheer’s Pete

Hi Pete

About 1979 I delivered tanker loads of Edible oil to their bottling plant at Wednesbury that was situated in an old Mill or Factory. That period I think KTC had a tautliner pulled by a Ford Transcontinental and recall they had a four wheeler Leyland as well. Found Volvo S50KTC. They have come on leaps and bounds since then and have a state of the art factory at Wednesbury and Liverpool. Think KTC Liverpool site is on the old Peerless Edible Oil plant at Dunnings Bridge Road Bootle and also situated on the old Mothers Pride Bread plant at Aintree.
Off the subject 1969 I worked for an Irish haulier Williames Transport Group pulling out of Trafford Park, we had a depot at Farrow Road Wednesbury (that does not exist anymore) believe part or near to the old site KTC building.
Cheers Kev

Peerless at Netherton (Dunningsbridge Road/Heysham Road corner) was opposite Scott’s Empire Bakery - which was acquired by Associated British Foods and became one of Allied Bakeries premises. The only part of the orginal bakery left standing is what was the old hotplate plant, which originally produced all the crumpets and pikelets. The rest of the bakery became the retail park which stands there now.

HRS:
Morning Dean,
Been scratching my old head and can not remember the Morgan Antell depot, will come eventually.
Interesting number plate though, 1983 but the HEL bit brought back memories of H E L transport near Oxford street Southampton.
HILTON, EMERY,LANE
Not many will remember them, Buzzer might.■■? Harvey

We could be waiting a while then Harvey ,as like you say “old head”

I think they are from Blandford way .I wonder of there is a family connection with John Antell from Child Okeford who use to
move alot of trains etc ■■

steam:

Thats him Chris Dare ! Always nice when someone spots one of the trucks they have driven. How many did he operate i seem to remember
he had about 4/5 of those DAF’s ■■ Do you still live local “steam” as if you look through the thread you will see loads of companies you will know.

Yes I still live in Poole and in the past drove for RA Bugler 1984/ FW Eaton 1985-1986 /Chris Dare 1987-1990/ Poole Waste Paper and ended up driving for Ryvita for 11 years. Chris had about 4 tractor units based at Longham mainly various DAFs but he did have a Renault for a while. I have some pictures of his various trucks and when I can work out how to put them on here then I will. Cheers Tim Vaile (Steam)

Nice to hear you still live local Tim,heres a few of Buglers and Ryvitas.
