Aldridge, Bill, paperback, 46 pages, Trans-Pennine Publishing Limited, 1998.

Perhaps best known for their well-kept fleet of A.E.C. lorries and for their 'Fletton Brick' the London Brick Company of Peterborough sold its products throughout the country.
Through both good and bad times the company serviced the needs of the nation's building industry, firstly by rail and then by road. In this book, transport historian Bill Aldridge describes the growth of the company and its delivery services. To explain this development, the brick making process is also briefly explained. Coverage is also given to recent events, including the take-over by the multi-national Hanson Group who themselves began life as a small haulage company in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
However, this remarkable book not only looks at the London Brick Company delivery fleet, but also includes the range of ancillary vehicles operated by the company, including buses, fire engines, ambulances, refuse wagons and landfill site vehicles.
