My Dad used to work at Foremans road from 1977 to 1989 , he was a transport driver. His name was Tom Hurdman, also known as Bugsy. Does anyone remember him?.

Sadly he passed away just over 2 years ago.
 
Re Fradley Depot - Well there is now so please fill in some details. All posts are started by members so I can only assume no member has experience of it.
