Inverness Goods

The ubiquitous yellow Bedford lorry (on hire from NCL) at Inverness Freight Depot in winter 1977. The rail vans have brought sacks of flour from the private siding of a Leith flour mill, for road delivery to Burnett's bakery in Inverness. All the sacks were individually 'hand-balled' from rail to road - tiring and dusty work, as the photographer's son can testify from his 1974-75 stint as a 'Railman' in Inverness.
