A wartime Fordson 7V on the left, and a late thirties Leyland, possibly a Cub, on the right. The centre vehicle is another Leyland, I think, but possibly 1920s. There are experts on fire appliance coachwork, but regrettably not me. Trying to decipher the number plate on the right hand machine, DHA 555 would fit both the age and the location, but is that what the plate says?
It‘s interesting that the two Leyland have wartime white edgings to their coachwork, but the Fordson doesn’t, suggesting a post war purchase and a repaint job, since most of the pictures of that type of vehicle, both Ford and Bedford chassis that I have seen were in battleship grey presumably as a wartime economy measure.
The horses in the older picture seem to be well looked after, I wonder if they were kept in reserve for the fire brigade, or took their turn delivering beer? Maybe they are a bit too streamlined for pulling a dray, be like hitching a Ferrari to a haywain.
