Does anyone remember the company JJ Gallagher who were active in Birmingham in the mid 60's to mid 70's on demolition associated with the re-development and new ring roads. I have never seen a single picture of thier equipment or lorries, if you have seen any please let me know. rgds Steve

Yes Steve I can remember seeing their trucks allover the place think they ran Leylands if I have remembered correctly, sorry I don't have any pics though.

Thanks for the photo Tim, It brings back great memories.
I used to hang around their jobs as a kid and soon was the runner to the local shop for thieir supplies. I often got a ride on the dumper or in a Case 1150 loader.
