Biggest flour mill (output per hour) in Europe when it opened in the 1930s. From personal experience Spillers was a good company to work for.

I’ve got to ask, as a youngster how do you read the old number plates? I mean this one reads PBB971 and you knew it was 1934… how does it work?

Now you’re letting us all in on your professional secrets, Larry. We all thought you had an encyclopaedic knowledge of these things and it turns out you were searching through your little book.

Hi Larry

My grandfathers first motor vehicle was 1920 Ford model T and quoted reg no J9629 J being orriginal reg for Durham County, before PT and UP were allocated. From my thoughts I suspected it perhaps had been JJ9629 but he always maintained J9629. What does your book say?

Well ROF, The old AA Books had a similar list in them, But this little black book of mine cost seven & a tanner in 1949 from the Measham Register of Motor index letters & Nos. I wonder how many of these are still about, Regarfds Larry.

Hi Larry,

Thank you. I always thought he was confused as I always thought J reg was Jersey. and dad was no help, as the wagon was older than him and he was too young to remember.
