Does anyone have pictures of Harry Walkers Transport trucks from Wharf St, Hockley. In an idea world van no. W24 would be great. Dad worked for them and we used to travel with him to exciting places like Cadburys, ( guess why) the docks, Birds Custard, Rowntree, getting up at 5am and sleeping on the engine cover, waking in London, Liverpool or some other exotic place, boy did we have fun. Harry Walker the owner, his Daughter ??? she had a Metropolitan Car as a gift and a Lady who lived on Kingsbury road in the office, the mechanic was I think nicknamed "blackbat" for his dark greased hair.

Any and all information welcome
