Here’s one for you AtkiDave, you should know this one

Teme Valley Transport (Mick Harris), i would guess that with those Rear wheel trims that it was Duncan’s.
Put the roberts on here Dave, the more the better.
I,m struggling to put anything on here Dave, my nephew put some on yesterday, I put some on today, but now Ive lost my way, but will keep trying.
It was the son’s lorry the sed atki.
Thought it might of been Duncan Harris’ sed atki, Kevin had a roadrunner
Can remember the lorries, but you would know better than me. Did they have two sed atki wagons or am I imagining that.
Know they always kept them smart.
Got a few more pics, will upload later.
Great pics Dave, that F reg Foden 6 wheeler is identical to the last truck that I drove before I was made redundant. I hadn’t realised that the Nash Rocks drivers were O/D’s, I always assumed that they were company vehicles. We used to run to Nash’s gangs at times, usually in the Leamington/Warwick area. Keep 'em coming, I only regret not taking any myself, especially as I used to have a camera in the cab!

Some more of C W Griffiths, also a few in Kington lorry park.
teme valley did have two of those sed atki’s dave.
I remember the tippers of Roberts, several drivers from the Radnor valley drove for them.
This was the first Foden 8 wheeler tipper belonging to Ken Preece, and driven by his son Lee Preeces, who now owns and runs the company.
KTH 8 legger looking good at Kington yard.
This Leyland Bison is still on the road, and operated by Elwyn Griffiths nephew of Clarence Griffiths who ran several Bisons in the 80’s.This one is still in the Livery of C W Griffiths & Sons Ltd.
Will try and put some of the modern local tippers on here soon.

Hi Pete,
Most of Nash were all owner drivers or hauliers with four or five lorries, a few with a pair of trucks. They ran a couple of thier own, still do under the tarmac banner, a 6 and a 8 and one artic which double’s as a lowloader shifting their own plant around. They also run a 6 wheeler beaver tail plant lorry.
Cheers Dave.
Going to get some more picture’s of local tippers tommorow, post them on here over the weekend.
