PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

Morning Dean,
Regarding Dalgety’s mill at Poole, I can remember tipping wheat there in 1990, M.Way had a big presence in there at that time as there was 2 or 3 of them tipping/reloading. Both times I had a wheel off the bridge whilst taring out, paid on the ton so every bit helps!

Nice story Pete ! :laughing: Had alot of happy memories as a kid delivering there in my grandads trucks. :wink:

Buzzer:
Dean British International were based in Ashley Crescent, Sholing, Southampton in the same yard as Cabmont and before them Public Benefit Coal Co, PBC think they went bust but did mainly Portugal work, Buzzer.

PS. the yard now is used by a recycling company

Thanks Buzzer, i always wondered what happened to them,used to come through Poole alot. :wink:

Powered by a Gardner 150 6LX engine Atkinson Mk1 six wheeler Reg No ODJ 706F was originally registered new to Tabern’s of St Helens on the 1st of November 1967.

After it’s days at Tabern’s it was purchased by Barrett’s of Delph and is pictured here negotiating the hairpin bend at Greenfield Station in Saddleworth on the 22nd of August 1982.

Today it sports the red livery of F.C.Cooke of Leighton Crewe, although as of January 2015 the vehicle was off the road with a SORN in place.

Great pic’s and info Paul, thanks for posting. :smiley: :wink:

Hi Dean,
Yes the Marsden integral is the same company…i’m not sure if Ellis Morgan are still trading now…they were a very old company and once had a large fleet of Marsden Integrals…in the later years they went on to more artics.

Regards Mark

Thanks for confirming that Mark,and for the Mason’s comments. :wink:

Dalgety Volvo. Does anyone know if they bought out RHM/Chrisopher Hill’s as they took over here mill in Poole.

Yes, Dalgety Agriculture bought RHM Agriculture in 1982. It was a “reverse” takeover in that RHM Agriculture was the bigger company of the two.

Good stuff Graham. :wink: Did you work for them ?

Just an observation but the Fletchers advert has the Greenwood Group symbol at the bottom right corner so would Fletchers have been a Greenwood subsidiary ? Cheers Dennis.

We have had some cracking ERF 6 wheelers on here.

Hi Bewick,
Fletchers were part of the Howells Group thats what the logo under the British Leyland logo is…they owned a few British Leyland franchise sites across South Wales and the two main truck dealers…Howells of Cardiff and Fletchers of Swansea.

Yes DEAN, at the time I worked for Spillers Milling which was part of the Dalgety empire. Dalgety was a good company to work for, paying top salaries and wages…probably why they failed years later but by then I had moved on. :sunglasses:

Pedantic but, pretty sure the erf 4 wheelers below the Edinburgh woolen mill one are m types not b series. Different lower grille panel area.

The mauri iveco could be Blakeys? from Hull as i remember them having Leyland roadtrains in the mauri livery.

Great photos as ever.

Hi Dean,
The Volvo may have been a BRS contract hire vehicle they replaced Bedford TK box vans, they last ran Daf 75’s artics and wagon and drags.
Beldray where based in Bilston West Midlands and made ironing boards, garden incinerator bins etc, sadly the factory shut in 2005/6, the name Beldray was bought by an investment company that is why you still occasionally see the name about.
The name Beldray is an anagram of Bradley which is an area near Bilston, a bit of worthless info I know!

Hiya Mark ,
I understand your explanation but why would the Greenwood Transport symbol be in the bottom right hand corner of the Fletchers advert ? If you look back on shots of Greenwoods motors on TNUK you will see the identical symbol on the cab doors ! Interesting don’t you think ! Cheers Bewick.
