The wider family are busy looking. The problem is cameras were not that common in the late 60s early 70s. We do have some old photos of the 'yard'. By the time I was playing on this lorry (1968 onwards) it looked like it had been out of service for a while. There were two parked up in a shed behind an old Michigan lorry crane. By then my Grandad was running the business -mostly metals and scrap - and both trucks were sold I think in the late 70s or early 80's. Imagine as a child being allowed to 'play' in a scrap yard. Different times, but great great fun! What is truly amazing is that both trucks have been so fabulously restored and both are roadworthy today. What are the chances of that? Well done Toby!

Just fabulous to see the restoration of the lorry I played in as a child in the 70s. I am the great grandson of Joseph Brierley...happy to help fill in details about the business if of interest. Would a visit be possible?

Fabulous to see the restoration of the vehicle I last saw in the 1970s! I am the great-grandson of Joseph Brierley and the Yard was my second home as a child. Happy to help with the backstory if of interest? Chris
