What a brilliant archive film, not a hard hat or a hi viz in sight, just a few flat caps and some Brylcreem :stuck_out_tongue:

I can imagine that the bespectacled traffic clerk has never been pulled through a window either. :smiley:

Absolutely great piece of nostalgia there.Brought back some memories did that.I remember it was a long way from the coke ovens to the weighbridge.

Thanks for putting it on Curnock. :smiley:

Fascinating. 2 shiny Leylands, an Otto and an artic with a 4-in-line. Strange to think of those puny looking 4-in-lines carrying the max. weight of the day.
And what about that older 8 legger being shovelled (bet his hands were well callused to go with aching shoulders) out onto the road, was that a Leyland too? Couldn’t get it to work full screen.
But, a driver standing by and directing a bloke in wellies where to hose his cab down? Not where I worked. :open_mouth: :laughing:
