1921 Frank 'Cracky' Blake & Jim Obidiah Waterhouse with the Black Eagle Hallfords lorry

This purpose-built motor dray from commercial vehicle manufacturers Hallfords of Dartford was registered on 2nd June 1916  as KT 8164. The company was actually J & E Hall who between 1906 and 1926 produced London and country buses, haulage vehicles and lorries deployed with the British Army during WWI. The name ‘Hallfords’ was coined from their telegraphic address, as a conflation of ‘Hall’ and ‘Dartford’

From records held by J & E Hall it appears to be the only Hallfords motor dray purchased by the Black Eagle Brewery at that time.
