Lorries

The latest offerings from the ERF works are seen here on show in 1961.

Part of the Earle's Cement fleet of Foden lorries lined up for a group photograph at Hope cement works in 1939.

Foden dump trucks in an advert from Mines and Mineral Engineering, Sept 1970. These vehicles look both small and rather dated compared with modern vehicles. The photo seems to have been taken at the Craigahulliar (sometimes written as Craignahulliar) quarry located 3km SE of Portrush. It was worked by Portrush Columnar Basalt Company Ltd. until the 1980s and has subsequently been used as a refuse tip.

"Coal" in July 1954. This machine looks similar to those featured in the 1970 ad, but is significantly smaller.

Hanson's Atkinson lorries under the loaders at Riddings Drift in 1970.

The closed Newbridge Quarry at Pickering had this Foden tanker parked up looking sad and with no work to do. I suspect this is a former military vehicle.
