The photo of the queue of wagons was taken at Green Fairfield midway between Waterswallows and Fairfield back when wagons could use the road - It’s a weight limit now (doesn’t stop the odd Dinky artic though ! )
And the smash is in Buxton just beyond the market place heading towards London Road. Unsure of the year of that one but guestimate it being late 60s.
Revelling in the nostalger … Thanks Bonkey !!!
Whats the name on this one … is it Needham ?
This one always stuck in my mind having that “Ugly Mug” script on the front.
Did John Mason also run a Dodge Commando in the 80’s ?
The line ups of Sammy’s Albion’s, Dodge’s and old Bedford’s is an amazing find.
And thanks to you John for searching out an origional Heyworths. I’d have never imagined they would have had links with Peter Andrews.
Did they have the Coal yard on the corner of Ogden Lane ?
Hi Paul. There was a coal depot on the corner of Ogden Lane & Cornwall Street but for the life of me cant remember the owners in the 60s but it finnished up with CPL until this last few years now I think there are houses on the site.

Did anyone get the reason for the original question on this thread? Why did Hanson use a sloped body?
Chris Webb.
The Earles were originally a York family until George Earle came to Hull to set up business; he and his brother Thomas founding a pioneering cement works in 1821 (which was eventually taken over by Blue Circle)(Croxton and Garry.)) Earles Cement were also on the side of the river Hull at Wilmington. They had other quarrying interests across the river Humber which is now Pelican Pond near Barrow haven, a sailing club.
Hope Cement works in the Peak District was opened in 1929 by the firm of G & T Earle, in the 1960s, Hope Works - by now a part of the Blue Circle Group - underwent a major reconstruction and capacity increase. In 2001, Blue Circle became part of the international Lafarge Group.
Thomas’s sons, Charles and William, repeated the pattern of a sibling business partnership, setting up C. and W. Earle (Shipbuilders) in 1845. They bought Junction Foundry from James Livingston who had built the first iron steam packet in 1831
The Earle brothers were millwrights, founders and general smiths whose move to ship engineering happened at a propitious moment. Shipbuilding in early nineteenth-century Hull concentrated on wooden whalers and trade vessels under sail, but Livingston’s iron steam packet marked the new direction in ship building. The Earles opened a shipyard at the east end of Victoria Dock (Earles Road) after it opened in 1850 and by 1851 they employed 72 men.

I was more interested in the 1418 behind the LAD, it looks like Trans Continental on the front and a badly sheeted load that looks to be more than 4.0m
There is a lot to pick through in these notes, but Bonkey and Chris have started other threads on Blue Circle Cement both in Hull and Derbyshire, it all makes interesting reading, for me at least 
Wheel Nut
No I never found the reason for that curve down at the tailboard.
Talking about International work, do you remember John Bibby from Macclesfield. I saw him mentioned on the 80’s International thread but can’t find out if he is the same John Bibby, that ran a blue & silver Merc with a tipper trailer in the late 60’s running out of Buxton, he also pulled a stainless steel tanker with it at times.
Paul.
Malc,I never realised that Earles were so diverse in their interests.As a kid in the late 40s and early 50s I just remember their wagons running through,amongst other places,Calver,Derbys with bagged cement,mostly Leyland Comets(not the LAD cabs),Hull “KH” and “RH” regs with I think a trade name of “Ferrocrete” on the bodysides.I may have mentioned this before but the railway sidings for Hope Cement Works are still called “Earles Sidings”.It was only last year that I saw an Eastern European,Polish I think, artic heading towards Castleton village,he had missed the turning in Hope village for Lafarge and would have been a head scratching and gesticulating affair to get him turned round if he didn’t speak the local lingo I suppose any of Turners drivers would have told him in his own language - well so I am lead to believe.
I too still wonder why Hanson used the sloped tipper body?
Tipit,I don’t remember that Bibby with a S/S tanker but Sam Longson/Hanson ran acid tankers but I don’t know what contract that was,any idea?
Hiya Chris,
I didn’t know Sammy’s had any tankers like that, there should be someone on here can tell us who they carried for though.
Paul.

This is the only one I have of one of their acid tankers on for ICI
Thanks John … Now I remember them.
TIPIT:
Thanks John … Now I remember them.
Tes,thanks John,I’ve been searching for that picture,I was beginning to think I’d got it wrong 
Tipit…the one you can just see next to the acid tank is a General Purpose tank which also worked for ICI Billingham I think
John.

Were the tankers based at Chapel I wonder?
Here’s a GP tank of Sammys borrowed from Bonkeys( Longson )thread

John they bought those acid tankers and the contract with them of Peter Lynch do you remember he had P cab Scanias under the tanks, 92’s I think they were.
