Priestman Tiger

Post #1 by tim » Wed Sep 03, 2008 9:43 pm

This Priestman Tiger i saw at Threlkeld worked for Ebenezer Mears in their sandpits at Runfold near Farnham Surrey(the next pit to where i work) and Kingsley near Bordon Hants.Mears were sand producers,landfill operators,plant and skip hirers, haulage (tippers) and demolition contractors,and the firm sold out to Drinkwater Sabey some years ago. :thumbs_up: Tim
