I will surly miss John, known him for a very long time 25 years plus, we were partners on the astonbrook facebook group, Mark his son told me that he died peacefully in his sleep which was nice to hear because he has been very poorly over the past couple of years or more, My thoughts are with...

Number 2 Park Road,

I was really hoping that he was, but sadly not, he would have known him but again sadly he passed away a very long time ago now, thank you for posting them.

The faces ring a bell, but cannot say for certain, don't know the driver either, shame.

I worked at Drews Lane on the front axle assembly from 1976 till 1981, and my Uncle worked as a driver for W. Jones and sons for many years delivering the axles to most of the British Leyland plants around the country, and as a nipper I used to go with him during the school holidays.
