THE DORSET STEAM FAIR (40th) Part 4.


So here today we have part 4 of the Dorset Steam Fair blog, this one is mainly about Transport over the years. I'm afraid I know very little about most of these Lorries, Vans, Buses etc, I also didn't write down the Make/Model on these pictures, sorry.
So above an old "Bedford"which looked to me distinctly like a converted Ambulance.
Below, Lets start with something most Men can appreciate a Beer Barrel Lorry.
Please do click on any of these pictures to enlarge them, also to see others in the background.

Below, This Milk marketing Board Lorry was a Thames Trader, whatever that was.
This lovely "Morris" van, I do remember these being in regular use whan I was young.

This type of"Bedford" (CA I think) van,was one I used to drive a lot in my "Twenties" and brings back lots of memories.
Here below we have "Foden" and an "ERF" flatbed lorries, both in beautiful condition.
Below, a "Bedford" single Decker Bus or coach, they were the same thing in the 50s. I remember going off on several village outings on these, mainly to our nearest "Seaside" resort "Weston Super Mare". I also rember going to the "Model Village" at nearby "Bourton on the Water", at that time I lived in Stratford upon Avon.
This picture below has me completely stumped as to make or model.
Below, A big green Double Decker Bus, this "Skegness" one was made by "Bristol" motors.
Again below, I know nothing about this flatbed Truck except that its Livery is of the Brewery "White Shield".
Below this flat bed lorry has the "Hughes & Sons" livery on it, but i know little more.
Finally, no Fair blog would be complete without an Organ. this lovely edition played quite a few recognisable tunes, the one playing is one of these.

Gday Bob now theres some Vinage vehicles im sure the men would like that beer stubby full. I feel ancient when i see the bedford school bus.. we used to have green and white double decker buses here. I used to travel on them to and fro to the city to work every day, you could never get up stairs think they were the first seats taken.. those were the days...

Ken is wondering if the green car (photo under the Bedford bus) might be a Ford Anglia? Just a guess...
