This Atkinson Borderer was one of several similarly aged tractors I discovered in the entrance to a South Wales limestone quarry in the mid 1990s.
The truck, which had been operated by local firm TS Rees throughout the 1980s, sat in the same spot until the late 1990s - at which point it was dragged away for scrap metal. Local haulier Sammy Rees, who today is in his 90s, was heavily involved in the construction of the M4 through South Wales.
