Manxdeedah Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I remember J.E.Parker very well,here's three photos............... Photos courtesy of Alan Graham,Peter Davies and Arthur Hustwit. They ran in a blue livery with gold lettering and I think they did some work for British Tissues or Dixons as it was known in the 60s as well as carrying steel products. Warringtons (est 1946) Transport was one of the first companies in Sheffield to be nationalized - BRS.In the latter years they ran a lot of Leyland Buffaloes and were a good company to work for apparantly. Here's one of their Albion Caledonians,photo by Arthur Hustwit......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepstox Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I worked at Tinsley Park Bar Mill then Hawke St then Thrybergh Bar Mill. We used Parkers, I remember John Moat and there was a little bloke with black thinning hair combed back, great bloke and I'm ashamed I've forgotten his name although it might have been Ian. All lorry drivers in the steel haulage trade worked their rocks off, the shunters especially did. I was in contact daily with the gaffers at Parkers and they were great to deal with, not too pushy like Thorpes and not fussy about destinations unlike some companies I dealt with.

Manxdeedah Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 im not certain but i think parkers did pool work with geoff hardisty running out of british steel, there was a few small companies that did pool work with some subbing to the likes of bigger companies such as ernest thorpes, deepcar transport etc Would that be the Geoff Hardisty that started Wharncliffe Transport? If so he put some fridge trailers into Wincanton at Maltby in the 90s and up to 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
