Yes I remember them well Keith. Bill Knill was sadly killed in a RTA near Presteigne when an artic jackknifed and took the roof off his Jaguar car about 30 years ago. His Sons still run the business, but don’t run transport anymore.
I remember Graham Middleton drove an Albion six wheeler on livestock, he also had one on coal also a variety of others on distance and livestock. He also ran buses and coaches, but had cut down his haulage business and was selling second hand lorries, and was returning from a lorry auction at Measham when he had the tragic accident when the artic coming the other way took him out.
Cheers Dave.
