Hi Yorkie007 - Glad there’s someone else with new photos and stories mayby ?
Les Groombridge used to come into Urmston as I remember, didnt he do continental with Vicky Bernand and the driver that took the pub in Southend ?

FROM FORD AD
HAROLD WOOD FROM ■■■■■■■ AD
hi
just wondered if any of Harold Wood or Pickfords drivers from the seventies or eighties from widnes depot are members
Just a little brain tester:-
Where was Harold Woods very first garage (where did it all start)?
It’s all gone now but the street is still there. No, it wasn’t Heckmondwike.
Answer tomorrow.
