Next door neighbour drove for them in the 60s, but cant for the life of me remember his name, drove an A.E.C and used
to park in our street when he was home in Preston, I used to think his motor was awesome. Bit of useless info but every little helps.

It could have been my Dad , Jack Cousins, he used to park his Tyburn Tanker on Queens Road off Plungington road, Preston in the 1960s?

I will need to dig it out, but I have an article about Tyburn and its history, printed in an edition of Atkinson’s house magazine. c.1967, when the owner had become a non-executive director of Atkinson Lorries (Holdings) Limited. Mr. G.M. le Gosselin apparently had Preston connections, and his family had previously run a well-known haulage business, H Viney & Sons.
I think that, at some time, some elements of a Viney logo and slogan were carried forward to Tyburn. He sold Tyburn to Powell Duffryn, and the fleet took on the PD blue and white livery, although it was later sold on to Calor Transport, and I’ve seen one photo of a Tyburn motor in PD colours, but with a Calor sticker on the door!
Meanwhile, here are some links to Tyburn motors on Flickr:
