Re: D.Sandiford Haulage

I started at Gilmartins/Gilbraith's around 1965 when Dennis had a four wheeler. Soon after I got a new Albion Reiver six wheeler and Dennis got a Leyland Comet with four in line.
When we moved from Padiham road to the Whinney Hill depot Dennis got a Scammell Highwayman. Later he got a Scammell Handyman and was the only driver to go abroad from Gilbraith's. He did a couple of trips to Germany with machinery. I can't recall any other jobs we did abroad unless you count Southern Ireland where we took oil for the cattle boats and Stornaway with de-icer for the airport.


Photo is the Leyland Comet and four in line trailer which Dennis got new at Gilmartin's which as you know was part of Gilbraith.
