Most perishable goods came by train in those days, specials were run for milk and fish that ran as fast as the passenger trains. Like 20s American lorries, the British makes of that era were very difficult to separate.

I agree about trying to identify lorries and some vans from the 1920s - almost impossible and many more uncommon makes that eventually failed. -- Last edit: 2016-01-27 14:22:47
