On the Move Wall Calendar

On the Move Wall Calendar Overview

Taking a look back in time at road haulage through past decades from the forties to the seventies, the On The Move calendar is a fascinating collection of intricately detailed paintings by artists which portray different makes of lorries transporting cargos in all kinds of weather and in many locations across Britain. Combined with informative background notes it is sure to appeal to both admirers of vintage road transport who will appreciate the authenticity of the pictures, as well as all those who enjoy a nostalgic glimpse back into bygone times.

One painting, entitled Whisky Galore recalls the days when road traffic crossed the Firth of Forth by the ferry between North and South Queensferry. We see a 1949 Scammell Rigid 8, owned by G & D Cunningham, leaving from the southern side, with the Forth Rail Bridge in the background. A man looks wistfully at its cargo of barrels of whisky.
