I drove this Austin 6 wheeler for James Eckersley for about 8 years,1949-57. The load is bran in 140lb bags from Jacksons Flour mill,Ordsall Lane,Salford. destined for J. Bibby & Sons,Liverpool. A friend of J. Eckersley,Mr Bill Knowles is in the cab. I learned a lot about motors while working with this lorry.
