Steve could you send me your e-mail address as I’ve had a new computer and I think I might have lost my address book.I must have a word with my 10 year old Grandson to sort it.Wasn’t it Mr Shakespear who got involved with Allens and that didn’t do them any good at all He had a sand and gravel quarry at the bottom of Chequers road and had a blue D-series 2417.(Which I sold to them) and seemed to be quite busy.I don’t know if it happens to many dealers but they seem to sell more motors away from near companies and other dealers sell to them.I’d like to think that they are o.k. with the people they know or perhaps we’ve been sussed.

Hi Tony - wondered where you’d got to! Sent my address by email.
Yes - that was the one and only Mr David Shakespeare - aka Ringo (unofficially!). The company was started by his dad Bill (William) as Shakespeare, Simpson and Cook at St Mary’s Goods Yard in Derby. Bill was a great bloke, but I never really took to David. They had interests in quarries and stuff all over the area and I think one of their last really big jobs was buying and developing the marina site on Castle Boulevard, Nottingham.

Hello Steve and rigsby , yes i can remember coal going into Padeswood , wasnt there a firm called coal deliveries from Mansfield ? , and does anybody know if Mansfield sand still going ? wouls see them around St helens thank you Trevor
Mansfield Sand are still operating at Ratcher Hill, they used to (and still maybe) be involved in relaying football pitches during the close season and also horse menages. Did the odd load for them many years ago.
Pete.
Which one did wez write off ? Was it a view line ?
Don’t know Dan but will see if I can borrow some pictures.
It’s a few yrs since peter was based here Jason driving for Mrs Housley ,apparently the small room in the corner of my house was a office where drivers would go to the window .
Before we were born mate!
