Did Albert have a brick haulage company?
He did a few jobs for me in the late 1970s.
The foreman at R/H Brickworks around 1973 was Jack Webster. He was a true gent.
I am not related to Bill Gaskell.

He did John . He drove the six wheeler himself and his other two eight wheelers were driven by his son in law Alan Liptrot and another lad named Johnny Peet .

I never knew Jack Webster , but then I only started at Ravenhead in 1982 , so he may well have retired by then .
