Beet sugar factories are very busy for a few weeks of the year (harvesting time of the sugar beets). During this time they manufacture the whole yearly production of sugar. For the rest of the year they are shut down, maintained and prepared for the next "sugar beet campaign".
We only had ourselves in the country?, we get your drift as nasty as it is…Just to enlighten you a little Britain had a diminishing empire you know the one the sun never set on , thankfully it collapsed like all empires do mostly because the countries colonised resented the colonisers thieving the wealth of the their nation…
Happy days. Bringing in Limestone in a " W.H. Phillips Wirksworth " Tipper from Derbyshire,daughter with me " Works outing" LOL.If you were lucky,Pulp nuts back. Mainly did Spalding,Peterborough,Cantly,Wissington ,Eley and Bury St.Edmunds . Oh to be young again.......

A nice view of the 60s, the trucks are kept clean and the beet factory was a busy place. Nice to see dad taking his girls to work.

All Happy to be there. Happy to be filmed. Happy Days. Thank you for the film.
By the vehicles I'd say very early sixties, poss. late 50's. When life was still relatively innocent and we only had ourselves in the country.

LORRYS THAT HAD A BIT OF CHARAKTOR ALL UK MADE
Blooming heck did you notice the size of the mirrors on the Bedford at 52 seconds. Dark wet mornings in winter must have been a joy 🙄
Two kids no mobile phone, I bet they had jobs the day they left school!
great to see s type Bedfords again, todays lorries are boxes on wheels.
Blimey. The old lorries with those cab windows you could knock out with the Elfa wash.
Brilliant piece of footage.
