I'm not a lorry driver but as a kid did spend time on the road with my dad. Looking at some of these lorries i can't help but think driving some of those motors day in day out must have been pretty laborious. And some of the tractor units look so small, @2:58, 1:50, 2:48, and others. What weight were these designed for? Driving such machines back in the day must have been hard work but then again i guess the drivers didn't know anything different.

Brought back some good memories there , especially the "Drinkwater" lorries had a close connection with those .

That dodge tipper at 9.26 UML 743 should have Stanley Baker stood by it.

[@stevewebster317]

What, no Dodd`s Transport? Great video though. Can anyone identify the filling station at 11.18?

[@gegwen7440]

Shame there were no pictures of Tate & Lyle vehicles.

[@williamcarrington61]

Always smartly turned-out out vehicles. It was the highlight of my school holidays, a trip to Marlborough and back to Silvertown. At 20 m p h !

When wagons were wagons and men were men

As a 1970s Londoner I believe the only survivor comps are the muck shifters Biffa; Drinkwater's and the like. 🙄

[@richards6854]

General express services is still operational.

[@stevedawson256]

W W DRINKWATER, long gone , Drinkwater sabey was a firm started by one of the Drinkwater nephews I believe. Don't think they're still trading though

[@keithdeley7236]

Called lorries when i was a kid but now trucks thanks to the Americans why do we have to copy them?

[@stevedawson256]

Always be lorries in my book 👍

[@williamcarrington61]

And Dad used to enter the Lorry Driver of the Year Contest, when working for Tate & Lyle , Silver town.
