Welsh Border and Mid Wales Hauliers 1950's onwards


One of many restored and rebuilt by atkdave’s Dad.

A flash of a Jewson M A N, seen on the A44 in Leominser.

Jewson must have bought a few of the new MANs to put into service at various depots.
There was one the same on a stand at Truckfest Scotland with the reg. no. DG 14 SFX.
According to the details on the cab door , it is based at Sedgefield.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Have you been into Pembrokeshire, Dave?

Had a day down there a couple of weeks ago Casey, first time on that new stretch that bypasses Llandowrer and Red Roses.
Cheers Dave.

I reckon half a day’s not enough in Pembrokeshire when the sun’s shining! :wink:

Lovely county Casey, we spent more than half a day there. Ended up in Broad Haven which we both like.
Cheers Dave.

Super place, Dave. I lived there for a couple of years in the days of the first Mrs ■■■■!

John Weaver’s ex Burgoynes Spanish Dodge, refurbished by Alan Coxill, seen at Kington.


A small Austin, seen coming down from Kington Vintage Show, last Sunday.


A Steamer having a lift home at Kington.


Another Steamer having a lift. I think this lot exceeds the 24.390 ton limit for a gross weight tractor and trailer.


The drawbar of this caravan looks a bit low to the ground.

Hiya,
With the overhang on that van I hope the driver doesn’t have to negotiate any
speedbumps, he needs to raise his towball another three or four inches or he’s
going to bottom on the A-frame.
thanks harry, long retired.
