Description
British Lorries 1900-1945 by S. W. Stevens-Stratten is a comprehensive history of the early commercial vehicle industry in Britain. Spanning the period from 1900 to 1945, the book explores the development of lorries from their introduction as a novelty to the emergence of the modern 38-ton truck. Over 40 lorry manufacturers were active in Britain during this period, producing a wide range of vehicles. This book provides a detailed account of 42 of these manufacturers, including well-known firms like Albion and Foden, as well as lesser-known concerns such as Bean and Caledon. The book is illustrated with over 200 black and white photographs, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the past for the general reader and a valuable reference source for enthusiasts. Profusely illustrated with historic images, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of commercial vehicles in Britain.
