Another one taking a break on the A49 Leominster bypass.
Don’t timestamp these Dave - since VOSA became self supporting they’re probably looking on here for automatic fines!!!

I met a couple of BOCM PAULS today. That will be strange not seeing the BOCM name around anymore. I used to go with my Dad to Avonmouth in the late 50’s and early 60’s to BOCM for animal feedstuff.
Cheers Dave.
So did I, Dave! Yet another name from the past that slips away. We did quite a bit for West Midland Farmers, Gloucester as well as the occasional load for WMF Hereford. We were also a storage/distribution depot for Levers Feeds- I remember spending the bad Winter of 1962 struggling through the snow to outlying farmsteads with emergency rations.

Hi Casey,
finnly200 a member on here used to drive for WMF at Hereford, as did his Dad. My Dad drove for Passey Nott & Co Ltd from Kington who also had a branch at Hereford. He drove for them from 1939 untl the late 80’s when he retired, apart from six years in the army ww2.
I used to be with him quite a bit in 1962/3 trying to get to farms, as I was 15 then and leaving school. Serious bad winter with roads and farms blocked off. A lot of places up this way were like mini trading posts where goods for people were left, and then collected by people walking through snow to collect them. The Bakery at New Radnor hired tractors to get bread and groceries to various places for people to collect. The same with animal feedstuff. Good job it wasn’t bulk feed deliveries then, just sacks and small bales.
Cheers Dave.

We left many a half ton of cattle cake or sheep nuts on milk stands at the end of farm drives that winter, Dave. And has anyone solved the mystery of why paper sacks all contained half a hundredweight, except for cattle nuts which were seventy pounds?

Don’t know the answer to that one Casey. I remember the farmers left sheets or sacks to cover the bags of feed if there was no one around to meet the lorry. Most of them could move around with a transport box on the back of a tractor, but had no hope of towing a trailer through the snow. Smaller two wheel drive tractors then, and just two wheel drive.
Cheers Dave.
