They’re alright as long as they’re convex, useless if they’re flat uns!

Shown this one before, but found the advertisement on a ‘Peterborough Memories’ site, so thought it might be interesting to put the 2 together.
These are from LBCSteve’s Flikr site. Well worth a look, especially for Peterborough Heavy Haulage and London Brick Co. vehicles.

Anyone got any info on K.M. Clarke & Sons ?
Another one from LBCSteve.
Fantastic pic of Ron Bass & his trusty old Leyland.
Spent a lot of time working with Ron out of Bullimores quarries around 1983-85. One of the best.

It’s very rewarding to unearth photos that other people can relate to. I’m sure there’s lots of other photos out there that are waiting to be revealed or ‘rediscovered’.
I’ve even found companies that i’d not even heard of!
Thankyou to all who have taken the time and effort to add to this topic. I’d love to see more photos of Reads of Peterborough vehicles if anyone has any.
Speaking of companies i’d never heard of, here’s one … NOMAD.
The 2nd and 3rd photos are from their Facebook site. Their webpage gives some quite interesting destinations.
Now, i’m not sure about this one. The photo’s not very clear, but I reckon the signwriting at the bottom of the door says Peterborough.
So, if anyone can confirm that, and give me the name of the haulier, that would great.
Not sure but looks like it says anthony v grange… I can recall that name from somewhere…
Like the shot of the P C HOWARD erf a series in your previous picture - what a cracker…
I believe the Nomad Daf has been replaced by a newer orange Daf XF105, nomad operate out of united overseas old depot…
Cheers
There is a A v grange light haulage listed on the spalding road and established 1973 so could be a link to the foden
