Great video, brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Devon and remember all these companies. I used to work for A D Smythe in Barnstaple, before I had my HGV licence. Driving their van, forklifting in the yard and shunting, loading and unloading trailers, at the chipboard factory in South Molton. I drove an old MAN truck, with column gear stick, and quite happily drove around the factory all day without a licence, and no one said a word. Couldn’t do that nowadays. Happy times.

Brilliant photos my dad drove for M&D Transport in the early years the ones of Tolly&Smale , Lameys and Torrige bring back some good memories

It's a shame Axminster Transport wagons weren't shown. They had some nicely turned out Volvo's and Daf's,
