Henry Boot :Lorries

Could anyone please tell me what colour Henry Boot lorries were in the 1960's.If anyone could put a photo on, that would be great.

Most were grey, black or white (according to the black and white photos of the time) :-)

Well what a wag...Not !

Sensible replies only please, and none through rose tinted specs either !!

Were they red and yellow or am I thinking of Jimmy Childs?

Hi,

I don't know, I really need a definite answer and a photo!! thanks for having a think though Jim. Jimmy Child's were green and cream I think, but that was going to be my next question, does anyone have a colour photo of James Child lorry and/or Henry Boot lorry please ?

I don't think they are. They were the backdrop to my childhood ! I never ever saw a clean one as they were always covered in dust and muck !
