Pickfords

Business began for Pickfords hundreds of years ago, although the exact date is difficult to determine, some think it was started by James Pickford in the 18th century whilst others believe it was Will Pickford who was operating around 100 years earlier. What we can be sure about is that during this time it has used a variety of different methods to move goods around the country.
In the early years it made use of horse and carts, soon these strong animals were dragging boats along the canals and at the beginning of the 19th century records indicate that Pickfords had nearly thirty boats with goods being transhipped to road wagons for final delivery. The first engines were steam , but as the petrol engine took its grip the road fleet expanded covering many famous truck names. Loads became larger and distances longer as the transport systems improved. Our Chevrolet shows the Pickfords livery that would be similar to the type of vehicle used in the 1930’s
