Description
How Britain Moved House in the 1960s: The Unseen Pickfords Era
Step back in time to 1960s Britain and experience how entire households were moved before modern motorways and GPS logistics. From heavy manual lifting to navigating narrow post-war street corners, this archive look explores the iconic Pickfords Removals crews and the vintage classic trucks that kept a decade on the move.
In this episode, we explore classic British lorries in action—including vintage Bedford TKs, Leylands, and Albions—alongside the nationwide depot network that powered long-distance road haulage across the UK.
