1946 Beaver 12IB Reg. AHL 622 Chassis No. 461979 Engine: Leyland E185 7.4 Ltr 100 hp Diesel Gearbox: Leyland 5 speed manual
Delivered in 1946, AHL 622 became fleet No.6 of Beverley Brothers Ltd, Eagle Brewery in Wakefield. It spent its entire working life delivering beers to Beverley's public houses in Yorkshire, Lancashire and as far away as Middlesborough using a Dyson drawbar trailer. It worked until around 1967 when the family owned brewery was sold to Watney Mann Truman Ltd. It was restored in the 1980s and carries Beverley's livery and a realistic load of empty oak casks as a lasting reminder of a lost part of Wakefield's history.
Entered by Mr. P Wotton of Littleborough, Lancs.
