A BAG OF POTATOES WAS HEAVIER THAN TODAY IT WAS LIKE PICKING UP TWO BAGS AT ONCE , THE JAFFA BOXES WERE 3FT TALL AND VERY HEAVY TO LIFT ALL APPLE BOXES WERE 40LB'S
IN THE 1960'S THE COMMER LORRIES AND BEDFORDS WERE LOADED UP HIGHER THAN A DOUBLE DECKER BUS IT WAS ALL HAND LOADED ON THE LORRIES , TO BE ABLE TO GET THE LORRIES IN TO THE YARD YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET UP ON TOP OF THE LORRY TO LIFT UP THE TRAM WIRES WITH A BROOM TO GET THE LORRIES IN TO THE YARD.
