Anyone remember this company, I believe they used a yard at Bridgend Industrial Estate, before

Arlington Motors (LGS) were situated on the corner of Colchester avenue and Newport road where the allied carpets had their warehouse,incidently Leyland Motors had a depot in cardiff years ago complete with a Leyland clock, square type , bolted over the workshop door ,and that was basically where the A48 runs under the A470 at Gabalfa interchange.Hope that helps.
