Pete Hi , another Telford haulier , by the way have enjoyed your pics on the Foden thread , cc .
Aaron where was this picture taken ? Is it Blockleys , as their was a haulier called Frank Rawson the other side of Oakengates who had wagons in their colours and were AECS Albions and Scammells , he also did work out of GKN taking components up to the Albion works in Scotland .
Pete can you remember F Rawson ? ,thank you Trevor .
Trevor , Hi , i really can not remember the exact location , it certainly was not the brickworks , more likely a hauliers yard as it featured green AECs and Leylands , best wishes to you both @

Hi CC,
Was the AEC photographed in Alf Whitehouse’s yard? Trevor/CC/Keith, What was the haulier’s name from Hinstock,pre by-pass days, heading towards Newport out of Hinstock on A41 past Bulls Head pub and it was on your left hand side after 200 yds, done block haulage?

Pete Hi , no the AEC was not taken at Whitehouses yard ,but definitley the Telford area ,around i think Donnington that way
Have to say i would not know any haulier from Hinstock , but this FL10 of Orwells is from the other side of Market Drayton . Their yard is on the bank of the canal heading towards Audlem . I am familiar with hauliers in this area due to canal holidays when i was a kid . cc
Hi Pete , that is certainly Sam Bowkett , he was renowned for his Fodens ,the bottom shot is the type purchased from Bulmers .most of his work was from the Orb steelworks Newport , a regular drop of his was GEC Rugby i seem to remember , cheers pete great shots , regards Keith .

Pre Tudor Griffith?
Hello pete , great picture that , it was still Tudor griffiths back then , he had several ERFs tippers as well , thank you Trevor .
“Pink Lady” as I recall? She also ran an F88 for a while but I don’t think the driver and her were suited. I used to meet her quite regularly at one time on the M1 or M25.

I’ve no idea about the pub, Pete, but I can confirm that she pulled a tipper with the Scania.
Just heard from another forum that Kay has become quite ill and is keen to put her memories to paper. Short article and photos on Facebook- Gloucestershire Hauliers and Drivers.
