Geoff wrote (July 2007): "....(Top) a lorry I helped build in the late 1950's, when working as an apprentice at Duramin Engineering. The lorry is a Dodge Commer used for carrying cement. Note the crane and gantry belonging to Pine End in the background, used for unloading timber off the barges.
(Middle) - Leyland lorry with a body specially built for Guiness
(Bottom) - note the Formwood Factory in the background". (This vehicle is a Mitchell and Butler (M&B) brewer's dray)
(On the back of each photo is stamped, 'This photograph is the copyright of Duramin Engineering (Lydney) Ltd., Lydney, Glos')
'Duramin Engineering' and 'Formwood' were both located on the Lydney Industrial Estate, Formwood later moved to Tufthorn Avenue, Coleford. The units where they used to be (Nissan Huts) are still there (apart from the 2 that burned down a few years ago).
Thanks also to Kelly Imm.
