Buckton Contractors were bought by DCT Civil Engineering Ltd in 1986:

I lived in Shaw as a Kid and remember walking past the depot on George street on many occasions and viewing the plant parked up on site there.
I think the site got sold off for housing in the late eighties or early nineties just before I got my first real job in the civil engineering industry.
