I knew Eric well as he was there at the same time as I was and when he had retired I popped up to see him a couple of times in the ball I also knew Don who I am sure worked for Vic Parker as well

 

There was a Don Morton worked for A E Evans same time as me,1970,lived up Oughtibridge way,going bald,looked like Pink Panther.

Anyone remember Don who drove for BRS and picked up loads regularly when I worked at Firth Browns in Central warehouse in the mid sixties? I was involved in arranging transport to customers.

I remember on one occasion, whilst standing in for the absent overhead crane driver, I caught the hooks under the bed of his eight wheeler and lifted the back end clear of the ground. I'd be 21 at the time and just got my licence

Booths Transport Olive Grove.

 

This may be of interest to someone on here. Found it in a secondhand book I bought. I found out it was taken outside what is now DotMot where Olive Grove Road joins East Bank Road. There's a date on the back - 1975

When I worked at Sheffield forge & rolling mills on Bridge Street in 1952 I think it was Truswells that carted some of the steel rods from there with a horse and cart.
