Thanks, was very helpful!!!

For some reason this came up on my recommended for you list. Rather nice that it did, my dad worked in Tilbury for the Mercantile Marine Office. Obviously I grew up not that far from Tilbury, the docks have changed enormously, these days it's mostly car imports and container traffic. Purfleet deep water berth which is a little further upstream from Tilbury is the busy trailer port these days with daily sailings to and from Zeebrugge and Rotterdam. There's currently a major roadwork development nearing completion to take the heavy vehicles away from the existing entrance which impinges on the residential part of the village.

gran ayudaaaaa muchas gracias !!!!

These later ferries look like what was sold to New Zealand for north island to south island ferry service in the late 60s to mid 80s they carried passagers, cars, trucks and locomotives with freight!😮

Absolutely wonderful film ! Struggled for a week to part my key. No joy. Tried your screwdriver trick.....hey presto. Trot to local hardware shop (open on Sunday); CR1220 available. All back working again. Thank you so so much.

High up the hill 👍

Why did only the trailers go to Europe. And not the whole shebang? Did it not make sense to send the tractor unit to say Italy France or Germany?

Love the music score !

Not a computer, mobile phone or motorway in sight ! The days when we manufactured things, even owned things. Meat and sausages transported in non refrigerated lorries? 🤔. The beginning of the RoRo system, now largely replaced by containers and ships so huge they have to create deep water harbours to accommodate them. I suppose it’s progress but fuelling a consumerist Society? Are we really any the better for it?

It’t a Range Rover key fob…

You Sir, are my hero!

The most helpful video on CZcams about Clio battery change. Thanks 👍

So very helpful, thank you! 🙂

Thank you!!

back when Britain was a first world country.

So easy.Thanks for sharing!!!

Hardly any sleeper cabs then 🎉

God that is one early tilt trailer 🎉

You have to admire the skill of the drivers, their outlook is 'we can do it' and they did, well done lads

Great to see a company I used to work for in this video.

Note at 1.38, the northern dartboard. It doesn't have trebles. Do these still exist?

I enjoy this film but I got thinking how many of these firms are still trading 😊

An interesting bit near the start, the shot where a lorry turns left and you can see Brent Cross Garage in the background...... That was where the M1 and A5 now converge upon a 6 lane super highway North Circular Road! Nothing left around there now of old London, either in infrastructure or local culture........

Round the south circular from Greenwich to Vauxhall, up past Hyde park, Marble Arch then Edgware road?

Merci pour ce film

Great whatch thanks 👍

Ah, big band music on a jukebox. Just before the invasion of American rock and roll.

Wonderful. I guess the Edwards Leyland is the firm Louis C Edwards from the family of which Martin Edwards later became the Chairman of Manchester United. Remember London Carriers well.

Beau film nombreux modeles de camion anciens merci

worked for Townsend Thoresen and for P&O Ferries....nice to see the history of it.

Pretty amazing feat with such low power.

Wow, nostalgia! Those prefabs at 2:00!

Great musical score!

''Corr, swelp me guv. Reckon or not an' like as maybe''.

This is why I love CZcams, you just don't get fascinating stuff like this on the telly.

Martin Edwards, Louis Edwards son also Manchester United Chairman,many years ago?

This effort beats the current wind turbine parts moving. Well done.

Could you just imagine HS today they would have a fit these folks used common sense which is a dirty word today ,when I was a kid my hero’s were Pickfords coming through Thornaby from Heads and Sunters ,Sunters were at Northallerton North Yorkshire near the railway crossing and Station I was in my element when a friend of my dads(Morris) knew Mr Sunters and he took us up the yard ,the smell of coach paint and those well turned out trucks Fanbloodytastic 👍👨🏻‍🏭🇬🇧

No power steering the driver was probably the hardest working man on the job , arms like a weight lifter

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it have been easier to Ship it, just saying, from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧👍

That's some undertaking if our driver left Tilbury on Wednesday and made it to Italy by Friday. Incredible. I wonder if they double shifted the vehicle!

Edwards meats Manchester , got caught giving dodgy mince to school kids in the 70's . Shows you , Manchester United funded for years by a bent owner and still bent today

WHEN MY BELOVED ENGLAND WAS WHITE R.I.P ENGLAND

The world is a very much smaller place now than when I was born

In an age when we manufactured. So sad so much has disappeared.

Life though hard for many looked far nore slower paced.

This is so interesting,

That little truck is strong for its size. Trucks in the U.S. where I live were as big as they are today in the early 50s. This is nice rig though

This country is not the same GB??? Thanks for the films times are changing

1:27 'ere what's Father Courtnay from When The Boat Comes In doing in trade...
