Interesting feature. I bought a model of a, E.J. Riley truck because it had a Bedford engine and my other half worked on them. My dad told of being fired by them before he even started work in Jan 1930 when he was 14 yrs old. They gave him a job on a Friday and on the Monday morning when he turned up they said there was no job for him. Over the weekend they had found out his father was President of the Accrington and District Miners Federation and E.J. Rileys was a non union place.
