back in the late 60 i remember going with my late father to b.o.c.m.mill at avonmouth you crossed the weighbridge then qued up and were called in via a tannoy system .you then went to a convoyor and if lucky it would telescope out if not it meant running back and forth with the bags of animal feed on your shoulder.does anyone remember the vertical conveyor that you could take up to the floor where the canteen was in spillers mill at cardiff ? in the 60s my father had a austin ffk140 had a legal 8 ton payload but usually carried 10 tons in 1968 he had a new lorry jbx 295 f a seddon 13/4/354 that carried almost 11ton legal

hiya,
The handball carbon black from down your neck of the woods was
also something else, we at the “red and rust” got lumbered with
that quite a bit, trying to get cleaned up a bit so you could get into
the digs was a nightmare.
thanks harry, long retired.

Mark, you beat me to it. Great shot Ant thanks for posting them.

Ant are those Volvo’s on day-work somewhere? Nice easy number. I run 580 miles 3 days a week, and 680 one day. That’s a nice number also.
