And what about J H Lord.I think their place was on the left towards Parkgate.The other one I recall was Scotherns,maroon colour,early starters for Birmingham area,they had "Mon Amie" or summat like that on the front.

[Shogun 10]

I think they had Leyland Mastiffs Samson but it was long time ago.

I did some work for them a few years ago they were delivering plastic plumbing tanks and thing for a firm down Tinsley way,the gave me a clapped out Renault ridged to drive, there was a big fat lady running things then, a few years latter a tarmacking firm bought them out they are still there in the yard now.

They'd be popular cutting the rate then Alan. I can't remember what the rates were working through Sheffield Haulage and Storage when I was at Prestons.Gaffer was always moaning about 'em though.

Two Brownhills sounds about right.Len Green did 2 x Smethwick-Rotherham or Smethwick-Newport on nights didn't they,£20 a run - or was it £10-for the driver,back in 70s?

[alan f 10]

ye used to keep away from the yard till night men had a wagon so they could not take my dennis-alan

[alan f 10]

they wouldnt do 2 trips in this 5pot gardner erf

Aye,it would have been a full day to do one Smethwick with her.What length did that trailer extend to?

Do you remember a Scunthorpe firm called Reeds,they did a lot of B 'ham area with steel,dark blue Mandators IIRC.Once got a lift from Sth Normanton to Oakamoor with one and the driver was on about doing two Scunthorpe-B'hams on nights,whether it ever happened I don't know.

Long shift that,flexible sheets or books job.

[alan f 10]

ye it extended to 45ft loaded with helical bar one was involved with a car goin under at burton bad accident

[samsonv8 10]

I know somebody who knows somebody else that drove for Blagdens,will try and find out who the driver is.

In the meantime another well-known Sheffield haulier,Frank Phillips........

 

 

 

 

A E Evans bought one or two AEC Mandators off Frank P,one was WWB 342G and the other TWE 707L,when I find the pic of TWE I'll put it on.

 

Chris
