    Brilliant photographs! I also have seen some later on here from Dave Hollingshead! from Ford Grantham Tractor Company’ I knew Dave in the day! What a Gent & also very clever with all that was changing so quickly with us in the day! I ended up at Colas & my job in the early days was seasonal as I signed on as just a tipper driver? I ended up permanent there’ & got put into W/shops’ I was never the best’ haha! But got involved with Hydraulics etc which Dave certainly excelled at in the day’ Excellent photo’s here of busy end of Wharf road as I remember in the day! & forwarding my self to them brilli8ant photos from the bottom of Somerby Hill Dave sent in! So going to comment as’ see “Jacksons Garage” both fantastic & thanks I never have seen these Photographs before. Tony Yeomans.
