I remember seeing the Stiller motors tippin loads from Caldicot at Blagdens in Trafford Park some years back, Regards Larry.
T.S.P BOUGHT 4 Atkinsons, but wasn’t enough work for them, Phillip jones went to Skewen and bought it. Phillip Jones Had an atky and load stolen at shepards bush,and Rhyd-y-Pollen also had 2 atkys and loads stolen in London around about the same time.every body pointed a finger at cresant rd East Ham. a steel stockholder, the trucks, cab burnt for fire wood, Gardner engines in boats in china, and the rest in for scrap.

Thats right Dai , i can remember the Rhydopollen Atki getting stolen i think it was a 6 wheeler.
Can remember the garage also just out of Pontardawe between 2 steep hills towards GCG . regards Keith
Rhydopollen were from Gorseinon couple yards away from Gwynne Bowens place, same side. across the road from Gwynne bowens was a haulage contractor by the name of W.H.Bowen, from Llanelli. the one you might be thinking of in Pontardawe maybe Abernant or W.C.Short (Landore) they had a yard in pontardawe.

The cleanest workshop I’ve ever seen and I’ve been in few in my time wouldn’t mind working there
Dennis, I think these dodge/reo came from the states during the war, after the war the yanks left all their gear here as it would cost too much to ship back, so everything was up for grabs,if you look at the nr side headlight, its covered with a black guard.
