Even though most dwarfs have a common knowledge of all things shiny, the gem trader is the expert.

Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.
All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.

LEICESTER TRADER was the last Trent size barge to be built and the last Trent dumb barge to be towed to Nottingham with a cargo as late as 1979. This size was developed and first built at the Trent Navigation dockyard at Newark in the early 1900s and carried on until the mid 1920s. The first steel barges of the type were built in 1908 in Gainsborough and Goole as the Newark yard never had the steel building capability. LEICESTER TRADER is little different from these early vessels and depicts clearly a design and build method from the past. Over the years, through steam and later motor barge towage, life on the unpowered barges remained the same and any man starting life on the river would have to show his worth on a dumb boat before any advancement. There are very few Trent size barges left afloat and they are houseboat conversions. All of the old former Trent Navigation fleet was scrapped in the 1970s.

Besided owning hundreds of buses and numerous items of real estate, PMT, like most bus companies, maintained a small fleet of ancillary vehicles. These varied from small vans up to large recovery vehicles. Somewhere in the middle of those extremities fell things like this Ford Thames Trader which was used by the Engineering Department. Needless to say, all things were neatly recorded photographically.
A cheery smile from a trader in his hygiene food safety hat selling food in a street market. During Ramadan, the early evening markets were hectic, selling prepared food that local people took home to be eaten after sunset.

The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha! People in the Zodiac inflatable boat at right boarded the catamaran to pilot to it's local destination.

Sibsey Trader Windmill was built in 1877 to replace an earlier post mill. In its day it was the ‘Rolls Royce’ of windmills, and one of the very last to be built in Lincolnshire. It has been described as “one of the finest mills in the country, with its slender tower and elaborate wrought iron balcony.”
It is one of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England. The mill was built in 1877 by local millwrights Saundersons of Louth, in a typical Lincolnshire style, to replace a small post mill. It is not exceptionally tall, containing only six floors above ground, and the height to the top of the cap is 74 feet 3 inches. The slenderness of the tower, and the flat landscape in which it stands, together create the impression that it is bigger than it actually is, and make the sails, already admittedly large, look enormous.
The first mill on the site, a post mill, was replaced in 1877 by the present six sailed tower mill. The tower mill was built by Saundersons of Louth, a firm of millwrights notable for their fine six sailed mills.
After the First World War, the mill was taken over by Tommy Ward, who ran the mill until his death in 1953. For most of his tenure at the mill, Tommy concentrated on producing animal feed as there was no profit in producing flour. An attempt to keep the business going failed two years later and the mill ceased to work. By then it had only four sails.
In the 1960’s it was earmarked by the then Ministry of Works as one of twelve windmills of national importance. In the early seventies, it and two other mills on the list were taken into the care of the Department of the Environment (successor to the Ministry of Works) and later that decade the restoration began.
Sibsey Trader Windmill is currently under the care of the English Heritage although the site is independently managed and run by Ian Ansell.
