The London Brick Company (häftad, eng)

Perhaps best known for their well-kept fleet of AEC lorries and for their ''Fletton brick'', the London Brick Company of Stewartby and Peterborough sold its products throughout the country. Through both good and bad times the company serviced the needs of the nation''s building industry, firstly by rail and then by road.

In this book, noted transport historian Bill Aldridge describes the growth of the company, its many acquisitions and above all its delivery services. To explain this development, the brick making process is also briefly explained. Coverage is also given to recent events, including the take-over by the multinational Hanson Group who themselves began life as a small haulage company in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.However, the second, fully revised edition of this remarkable and highly praised book not only looks at the London Brick Company delivery fleet, but also includes the range of ancillary vehicles operated by the company, including buses, fire engines, ambulances, refuse wagons and landfill site vehicles This second edition also includes four extra colour pages.
