A shot of Monmouth Troy Station ( pic by Nick Catford ) would any body know who the haulier was, looks like a couple of Fodens, Transcon? and a DAF as well as the obvious Atki

Pete - if you go on Flickr and do a search for Monmouth Troy Station it brings up a few pics taken in 1977. these show the place being used as a coal yard as well as a haulier’s base. The other thing it tells you is that the station buildings are now at Winchcombe; they were removed there stone by stone and rebuilt. Unfortunately while some pics make reference to the haulier, they do not say who it was. I will keep digging to see what more I can find out.

Hi Keith, Did Eric Ward have a son named Stuart by any chance, he had a blue volvo gobstopper on an egg job then went on to flat work taking bales from Smethwick to Port Talbot, Cheers Pete

There is a thread called “Ernie Sayce of Monmouth” on Trucknet; several postings give a lot more info on the hauliers who operated out of Monmouth Troy station yard.
