Hi billywhizzo,
Are you aware of the book , called " Road Transport - Wales & Border " , by Paul Heaton ?
There are many photographs of B.W.Rees & Son s milk tankers , general haulage , and their earlier fleet of milk kit collection wagons. Some good nostalgic photographs within the book. Also included , is a brief history of the Rees family`s heritage.

I hope this is of some help for you.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.
