Jazzman Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 About four years ago we were in New Zealand and somewhere north of Auckland we went into a little museum in what I believe was one of the first places to be found there. The first thing on display that we saw was a selection of tools from Tyzack Sons & Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david weston Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Anyone remember the packing shop chaps, forgotten their names but the dept. and those in it were all like something out of Dickens ! Would also be interested to know anything of Mr.John Ford, the transport Manager of the early 1970's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david weston Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks jaycee. Those names don't ring a bell, but it's a few years ago now. The driver before me ( they had just the one lorry ) had been killed in it in 1969, The story was that he'd dozed off and it turned over in a field. When I took the job I didn't get to know this until long afterwards and it seemed others had either not taken the job or left on finding this out, but it never bothered me as regards a jinx or whatever. After the accident, Col. Tyzack had a Tachograph fitted due to them thinking that the driver had gone over his hours, making him doze off. This was long before they were a legal requirement. However, it once got me off a parking fine when I'd stopped for a pee at Middlewood coming back from Liverpool docks as I was able to show, from the card, that I hadn't stopped for over 2 hours. I still have the 'Albion Clydesdale' badge off the front ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
