Down Memory Lane Calendar Overview

Paintings in the Down Memory Lane calendar from talented artists such as Malcolm Root, David Briggs and Mike Jeffries faithfully portray scenes from decades past and convey a sense of nostalgia.

Vehicles are shown against a variety of British landscapes in different seasons, together with informative background facts.

One fascinating painting entitled Brecon County depicts three AEC Mammoth Major 8 wheeled steel waggons, a Mk V, a Mk III and a "Tin Front” taking up the rear. Drivers would travel via the Swansea Valley, pre motorway days, to join the A40, carrying tin plate loads. Another, entitled The Cat & Fiddle shows a dawn scene on the old Turnpike Road between Macclesfield and Buxton, with a ERF EC 11 Tipper, built in the 1990s. The Cat and Fiddle inn, former Public House, is the 2nd highest in England at 1689ft above sea level.
