You might ask yourself why a vehicle belonging to a London firm is on this website. The simple answer is that the company, Brand & Co. Ltd., was taken over by Cerebos in 1959. You can only presume that their vehicles came to Hartlepool as part of the deal.

Cerebos Salt Works produced salt and Bisto. It was taken over by RHM Foods in the 1960s and over the next years produced a vast range of foods including Paxo stuffing, One Cal lemonade, Capri Sun, Atora suet, Chesswood mushrooms and curries, Brands soup and sauces, Sharwoods chutnies and curries and Cracottes biscuits.
Salt production ceased in 1970 and in November of that year, the salt production block was demolished.
RHM Greatham became known as Sharwoods in the mid-1990s before becoming Centura foods prior to closure in 2003.
