When I lived in cockhedge lane in warrington in the 60s as a young boy always remember Joe spurting wagons south eastern transport Faversham Arthur wood wagons all parked up over night staying staying in jjames leigh house on brick street always remember 5 in the morning the sound of them Gardner engines kicking in still with me today at the age of 65

Thanks again for part 2
Did any of you boys notice some of containers on trailers had no twist locks used go in tilbury early 70s used rope them on then dockers wanted chains 39 berth
That dodge tipper at 9.26 UML 743 should have Stanley Baker stood by it.
I'm not a lorry driver but as a kid did spend time on the road with my dad. Looking at some of these lorries i can't help but think driving some of those motors day in day out must have been pretty laborious. And some of the tractor units look so small, @2:58, 1:50, 2:48, and others. What weight were these designed for? Driving such machines back in the day must have been hard work but then again i guess the drivers didn't know anything different.
Brought back some good memories there , especially the "Drinkwater" lorries had a close connection with those .
What, no Dodd`s Transport? Great video though. Can anyone identify the filling station at 11.18?
When wagons were wagons and men were men
Shame there were no pictures of Tate & Lyle vehicles.
Always smartly turned-out out vehicles. It was the highlight of my school holidays, a trip to Marlborough and back to Silvertown. At 20 m p h !
As a 1970s Londoner I believe the only survivor comps are the muck shifters Biffa; Drinkwater's and the like. 🙄
General express services is still operational.
W W DRINKWATER, long gone , Drinkwater sabey was a firm started by one of the Drinkwater nephews I believe. Don't think they're still trading though
Called lorries when i was a kid but now trucks thanks to the Americans why do we have to copy them?
Always be lorries in my book 👍
And Dad used to enter the Lorry Driver of the Year Contest, when working for Tate & Lyle , Silver town.
