Might be a long shot. Anyone remember or have any photos of this truck?

It was bought from MOD sales after the war and went to Marks Bros., Heytesbury, near Warminster. They sold it around 1972.

Any info or photos or questions welcome. Thanks.

The Steam Lorries Of W. & E. Evemy & Co.

The June 1985 Newsletter of the Wessex Stationary Engine Club included a report of the Club’s May 1985 Monthly Meeting written by Herb Gane. The report included the following notes about a slide show on the steam lorries of W. & E. Evemy:

“After coke and crisps all round, the meeting was salvaged [the outdoor event was dampened by heavy rain] by our Chairman, Robin Lambert, who gave a very interesting talk illustrated with slides about the Steam Lorries of W. & E. Evemy & Co. Evemy’s were a large general haulage and quarry business who had about sixty lorries ranging from Foden steam lorries to petrol and diesel vehicles of the late forties. They were used mainly for timber, coal, and stone haulage from their own quarries, their operating base being at Chantry, near Frome.”

“Unfortunately, in 1936 a law was passed prohibiting vehicles over 12 tonnes gross weight. As some of the lovely old Fodens weighed up to 11 tonnes unladen it was no longer profitable to run them with a load as small as one tonne. They were sold as scrap for as little as £11 per vehicle. In 1949 Evemy’s were absorbed into British Road Services due to Nationalisation of the industry. Our thanks to Rob for letting us see these lovely slides taken from the personal photos of the Evemy family.”
