Welcome, TruckJocky - I know Wark well. As a youngster I accompanied my father on his rounds as the Man from the Pru. He did Wark to Bellingham and up to Keilder (when Plashetts was still there), often walking across the fells to reach the farms rather than driving round by the roads. We'd stop for our bait by a small steam and search for trout, though this was 1947 though to 1957 (for me) though my father continued until the mid 1970s.
You might remember him, from 1947 he drove a blue Hillman Minx registration BTY 284, then from 1951 a black Humber Hawk HXN 592 until 1956 then a two-tone green Humber Hawk KNL 202, followed in 1962 by a beige and maroon Humber Hawk RNL 369.
What took you away from the North Tyne?
