THE Norwich haulage company, Pointer
Group Transport Ltd., will he moving four new London homes a day for the next five years. The homes, in industrialized building components, are being delivered to various housing sites in London, for erection by Taylor Woodrow-Anglian Ltd.
Vehicles used for the purpose are Leyland Beaver tractive units coupled to specially built semi-trailers, based on Crane Fruehauf running gear.
Trainloads of 350 tons of housing sections arrive almost nightly at a rail depot established at Angel Lane, Stratford, from the Taylor Woodrow-Anglian factory at 1Lenwade, in Norfolk.
From Stratford, Pointer vehicles operate a shuttle service by day to nearby sites where the sections are assembled into two-, three-, or four-bedroom flats. Sites involving cross-London travel will be fed by a night service, leaving the trailers parked on-site by the erection crane ready for an early start the next morning.
