ERF "C" series tractor unit
One of Harold Read's elderly ERFs, now enjoying a peaceful retirement in the corner of the yard! This one is a C Series, I think, which were introduced in 1982. From the days when trucks were a bit more challenging and involving to drive (and consequently more fun) than the modern automatic dodgem cars we get nowadays.

Harold Read's haulage yard, Longhope
The Read family have run trucks in Longhope, Gloucestershire for getting on for seventy years now, possibly longer. Richard Read haulage, a much bigger concern, is just around the corner. Read's have always been associated with ERF trucks, a couple of elderly examples of which have been put out to grass in this shot. I used to drive similar trucks when I first started driving, and I still go all misty eyed when I see one! Drivers either loved or hated ERFs ("plastic pigs"), with their draughty fibreglass cabs and difficult-to-master Eaton twin split 12 speed gearbox. I loved driving them.

Inscription on Pound House
Interesting inscription on The Pound House Image] in Longhope. The inscription reads: 'THE POUND HOUSE destroyed by FIRE 19 October 1851 was REBUILT for HANNAH BRIGHT Aged 71 years by the NORWICH UNION FIRE OFFICE 1852' After discovering this inscribed tablet research lead me to discover insurance companies used to have private fire brigades, the last one was disbanded in Worcester in 1929.
