Richard Howe
Wonderful view of times past.

Grant Taylor
Richard Howe ...greatly enhanced by a mid-1930s Leyland Cub truck. Well before mid 1950s though!

Richard Howe
Grant Taylor Thanks Grant, i actually thought it may have been a Diamond T. The radiator seemed to be the same shape , due to my not so perfect vision. And since the mine closed in 1951, i will go along with your dates.
