  • The haulage contractor was AC Horton Transport ltd Based in Dudley Port Tipton Staffs now West Midlands. They were a Subsidiary of Andrew Wishart of Dysart Kirkaldy.

    They usually carried linolium for Nairn floorings

  • Many thanks for posting this very interesting vid. As others have said, perhaps stopping traffic to protect the crew would have been a good idea. No such animal as Health & Safety in those days, today H&S has gone totaly nuts !

    Look foreward to your other vids :)

  • It Just goes to show the cars are passing the burning Truck just get the job done and keep the road open

    Today the place would be sealed off Yellow Jackets every where and Health and safety gone mad

    We over do it now

  • I am sure thats norman wisdom .

  • 1,21 leyland

  • I remember Bruce Lindsay Waldie in Edinburgh in the '60s, as their maintenance depot was behind our flat. A lot of their motors were bulk coal-hoppers, self unloading.

  • Nice!!! No air masks and the officer helps hump hose with the company,, just like it was when I started back in 1976.... my how things have changed
