My father work at Wolselsy/British Leyland in the 1970s.
He worked in the warehouse and drove a stacker truck unloading the lorries.
I've discovered four photographs that were probably taken in the early 1970s.

The first photo is of my father Eddie Dovey driving his stacker truck. He can't remember the name of the man sat behind him.
The second photo is of two other warehouse workers, again names unknown.
The third photo taken at tea break is left to right: unknown, Charlie White, Eddie Dovey and Don Fothergill
The final photo is one of the drivers from W Jones and Sons leaning out his cab.
