    Welcome
    With it's strategic position in the British Isles and great access to the motorway network the Northwest of England has always had an abundance of transport companies.
    This gallery is intended to show many of the various companies vehicles with many images from the past and some from the present.
    Over the years i have collected many old photographs and thought i would show some of them on this site.
    A few of the older images feature Ted Kershaw who as well as being a heavy goods driver was also a keen photographer.
    With thanks to his son Jack for letting me use some of his late father's images.

    Also a very special thanks to the many well known truck photographers mainly Peter J Davies, Arthur Ingram, Raymond Jenkins and the late Roger Kenney without whose dedication, help and co-operation this site would not have been possible.

    Thank you for looking in the site is updated on a regular basis so please visit again soon.

    Paul Anderson.
