Hi Bonkey I’ve just come across your post on Staveley Lime/John Biesty.I worked for Biestys for 5yrs as HGV mechanic up until Staveley Ind took them over in 1973 and then they closed the workshop in manchester down within 6 mths.At the time they were running Albion Reivers and a few 4 wheeler Leyland Comets/Albion Clydesdale’s/D Series Fords,D E F G & H reg. They had just started to replace these with Scammell Routemans of which if I remember they had about 8 at the time of the take over these were J K & L reg vehicles.Within weeks of taking over Staveley replaced some vehicles with AEC 8 wheelers.The drivers were kept on for about 2 years after I left and I remember my mate getting one of the Foden 8 wheelers to replace his Scammell.Have you anymore pics to go with the ones you have already posted.I often wonder what happened to Tom Stevens (grandson of John Biesty)and owner of the company,some one said he was kept on as part of the deal and then finnished up working in the weighbridge,dont know if this is true though.

I just wish I had one of their Routeman’s now to add with this !
