The end days
In 1986/87, the clean-up had begun of the field at the rear of Berresford's Cheddleton garage. Jim Berresford's health was failing and there was a resignation that a start needed to be made on something of a sort out if the business was to be manageable and possibly carry on. Sadly J.A.B passed away in the April of '87 and the clean-up accelerated as his wife and family suddenly sold the operation to the recently privatised PMT.
The works in the field exposed many a long hidden gem such as this Leyland Firemaster fire engine and this Dennis pantechnicon. Behind the Firemaster is an ex Byrne Bros. Albion 'Firefly' and one of several Bedford CF minibuses once operated.
