Dove valley chicken Ashbourne. The tipping trailer would usually be left under an hopper at the feather pit. Sounds lovely don’t it ! To recreate the smell, find a week long dead chicken n tie it round your neck for an hour or two,super duper!!! Cheers Coomsey

P8070020p.JPG

Eatons had many tippers and a few tankers bringing raw materials into the works. Mostly Foden and ERF, they carted sand from the old ARC pit near Kings Bromley among others and we on Tilcon usually got a wave from their drivers as we passed each other regularly on the A515! . They also collected limestone from Derbyshire. At one time I was told that they not allowed CB’s or radios in their cabs, the manager was ex military who ruled with a rod of iron. Tackle was always imaculate though, spotlessly clean and I believe they were paid a good rate as drivers.

Buzzer:
Hi Dean the man you asked about with the Leyland Marathon was Ron Blackman who did traction for A.S.Rawlings on work to Italy with empty cows most of the time, a lifelong supporter of the Leyland mark even though at Rawlings he was surrounded by the Volvo mark but he never wavered, he was also heavily involved with round timber haulage and wood clearance IIRC. the company is still going today now run by a relative Kevin Rawlings the motors are all black now with silver writing and I posted a picture the other day but cant find it now if I do I will post for you, cheers Buzzer.

Found a later picture Dean, is this a T45 model ? and now the latest in todays colour scheme .

Morning Buzzer,Thanks for the pics. Thats him could not remember the fellas name ! :laughing:

Ray Smyth:
“DEANB”

Not had one of these on before. Peerless ERF from Liverpool. Ring a bell Ray ■■?

Anyone know where the Fork Truck Rental’s Foden is from ■■?

Hi Dean, I can see that some of us are working hard on Trucknet today… Do you think we will qualify for Double Time ■■ :slight_smile:

Peerless Refinery had a large factory on Dunnings Bridge Road at Aintree, not far from the start and finish location of the
M57 and M58 Motorways. Fork Truck Rentals were part of what was Lansing Bagnall Fork Trucks, later to be known as
Lansing Linde. They had depots throughout the UK, the ones that I am aware of were at Preston, Warrington, & Buckley,
near Mold in North Wales, Bristol. and Isleworth. For many years, Lansing Bagnall had a factory at Frog Lane in Wigan
under the name of REGENTRUCK, which refurbished and sold fork trucks that were considered worthy of a re-build.
We think the name meant Regenerated Fork Truck. John Wilkinson, my long time friend and fellow haulier was their
carrier for over 20 years. Happy Christmas, Ray.

Hello Ray, Good stuff chap and thanks for the pics. :wink: Paul informs me we have have had a Peerless Volvo on before.

Hi All

Ron Blackman (RIP) has long since finished when he died well over 10 years ago.
The old fridge in Rawlings colour still has a green boundry the current contiuation run by Kevin in black only run euroliners & low loaders

Cheers
Rich

Hi All
The Bomers Scania
Could well have still been theirs as I think the big letters on the front came in later than that & they did coal haulage as well as containers.
They sold out to Pentalver which now belongs to an even bigger group.

Cheers

RICH

IIRC got a feeling RT Page got too big too quick and went boobies up as a result, I may be wrong but it dings a bell Buzzer.
