    Are they associated with County Motors on County Rd in Ormskirk?

    Southport County Motor Services

    I have a photo of my Uncle William (Bill) Gillies driving that identical truck and am wondering if anyone remembers him? He went on to drive for Southport Corporation Buses and our family (across the pond) have no idea what happened to him.

    I'm not well versed in getting photos loaded on but I'll give it a try.

    The first picture is showing a Fordson 7V - precious few of which found their way into preservation.

    In answer to "njam52" about the County Motor Services, I had two uncles who worked the Len Sheard, and I believe Dick Sheard also stood in for Len sometimes!
