Down Memory Lane Calendar

Down Memory Lane Calendar Overview

Nostalgic paintings in the Down Memory Lane calendar from the talented artists Allen Spillett and Mike Jeffries faithfully depict scenes from decades gone by in superb detail. This intriguing calendar looks back in time at different road haulage vehicles, shown against a variety of British landscapes in different seasons and types of weather, with a paragraph of informative background facts about each vehicle. These superb paintings will appeal to the road hauliers of today, connoisseurs of bygone transport and art enthusiasts alike.

One picture, entitled Clan Pollock, shows an Atkinson Mk1, on the A1 in Berwickshire, decked out in the famous tartan livery of Pollocks of Musselburgh with the main London to Edinburgh railway line in the background. In another painting a GRP cabbed Foden S21, nicknamed ‘Mickey Mouse’, with its high-sided tipper body and ‘greedy boards’, is seen threading its way through one of Birmingham’s outlying districts. Kendrick’s lorries carrying coal were a common site in the sixties.
