Here's a photo of an accident between T.W.Wards lorry and Ackroyd and Abbotts lorry at Hind Street and Popple Street in 1952. I was the drivers mate in the Tommy Wards lorry.

Does anyone recall this?

Hi and welcome I knew a few of Evens drivers and mandator worked there I also knew most of the Hallam Oil drivers as I used to have my wagon serviced there and then it changed to Crossroads from Hallam Commercials and I was based in their yard Joe drove the artic and they had a 8 wheelers 6 wheelers and 4 wheelers and I am not sure if Ken drove another artic or a 8 wheeler and I can recall Colin who worked in the yard and then went on a 4 wheeler I may recall others with time as it is the mid 80s since I was in there.

Hello and welcome to the forum pal.

What was your dad's name,I worked at A E Evans from 1970-1979 and I knew all those names you mentioned including Easington which was on Spurn Head,the BP Gas Plant.I know that Ken and Les both passed away,I went to Les' funeral,must be over 7 years ago.Graham Russell and Joe Diskin had left Evans when I started,I know Joe went to LPG at Orgreave.

Do you have any photos of Evans vehicles,not that many about.

 

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi,sorry don't know your first name.If you would sooner I sent a private message about your dad Ken I will do so,let me know.Not that there is anything disparaging about him,he was a good friend to me when I first started there.

 

Cheers,

Hi Alan.

Ok,I will PM you.When you open the Transport Forum look top right and it should show "Your PMs".Click on it and it will direct you to my message.Let me know if you are in difficulty and I'll try and help,not that I'm much cop with computers either.

I will message you later tonight - tell your Mum I remember Bert Lancaster,he lived near Gleadless Church,and I have some other names she may remember.

I would love to see any photos she may have.
