Two transport cafes behind Harry,the Raven and the Midway,both still busy places most of the time.Only problem is that Vosa set up on the Council run lorry park which knackers the cafe trade while they are there,which can sometimes be most of the day.There were four transport cafes there back in the 60’s,it’s a busy transport route the A41 and the A49 coming in there.
Cheers Dave.

Hi hammer,
I’m not familiar with many North Wales or Cheshire hauliers,the only one’s I know are the big name hauliers with the logo on the vehicles.
Cheers Dave.

One of S M Davies of Welshpool Volvo’s,coming around the doughnut at Prees Heath.

Dave, you’d be sharing that spot with vosa, just lately they are there quite often, i don’t think it goes down to well with both the cafes there as the trade seems to suffer!

This is what we normally see there Trev,seen last June.
