? at Parkend Sawmills

Load 47 ton 6 cwt from Pembroke at Marsh Sidings, Parkend.

John Edwards added (November 2009): "... This vehicle is a 1951 Foden Diesel. A load of aboutt 20 tons would have been its safe limit, especialy all the way from Pembroke on those tyres".

Peter Brown added (December 2009): " ... Rowland Thomas drove for Parkend sawmills for many years and still lives in the village."

Terry Wilce added (December 2009): "... almost sure this person is 'Happy' Thomas from Parkend".
