Well remember The Brickmakers Arms, had a few ‘lockins’ there in the seventies .We used to load out of London Brick Stewartby, just along that road next to the M1. We regularly loaded from there, for the then “New” Power Station at Heysham, then load spuds out of the Heysham Dock for Team Valley market. Regards Kev.

Thanks for your comment Kev !

[bob-lad]

another great batch scania was Manchester haulage and warehousing tdg each motor having a different colour grill for recognition , im struggling to put anything on dean can you advise me please without the aid of photobucket , dennis took took makins motors on as im sure he will tell you , paul has kindly put a few of mine on thanks rob

[mushroomman]

Hiya Bob Lad, I hope that you are O.K. I think that this may be the link that you need unless it’s been updated.

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=62414

Once you get the hang of it then it’s much easier than using photobucket.

By the way Dean, the Schreiber furniture T.K. was probably from their depot in Trafford Park although I think that they may of had a depot in Hazlemere.

[bob-lad]

thanks steve will try it I remember them in Trafford park big firm at the time , I was with steve greenwood yesterday morning and I told him you were on here

Well done Bob Lad. I have just sent you a P.M. explaining how to do it.

I never met Steve Greenwood but my brother used to speak highly of him.
I did pass his yard several years ago while we were over in the U.K. and took a couple of photos, Carl was there at the time washing his Scania.

[mark_r]

Superb photos today… Especially the two Atki’s, P& A Haulage & J & J Mackin. My dad drove one exactly the same for Breakers Transport of Sittingbourne

[bewick]

The J & J Makin Atkinson is interesting, it would have been a Silver Knight judging by the J reg plate, It would have been a few years after this shot when I bought their fleet after J. Bibby & Son PLC bought them out in 1985. I didn’t know how big their fleet strength was in earlier years but IIRC I acquired about 6 motors and 3 of their drivers and the Foreman joined Bewick Transport, the others took redundancy ( we got the best of the bunch ) good action shot though, excellent ! Cheers Bewick.

Mr , BEWICK ,I Remember that j reg atki comming into flint Regularley they also had 6 wheeler with the s ame cab and 180 engine happy days they were a good set of lads , Cheers Barry

Hiya Baz , hope you are keeping well mate ! No doubt you will remember the Makin fleet but I just bet you didn’t like seeing them at the Flint mill I recall that the little Irish fella John ? didn’t like Makins own motors but apparently the Makin Transport manager ( Jack Thompson ?) used to “impose” their own motors onto the Flint Mill from time to time, but you will know more about that than me Baz ! Cheers and kind Regards Mr. Bewick.

Mr BEWICK , THE LITTLE IRISH MAN WAS JOHNY HARPER HE IS STILL GOING TO DAY WELL INTO HIS 80S , FANCY YO U REMEMBERING HIM ,cheers Barry
