I remember the name 'Walter List' Margaret but I only knww that he ran his haulage firm in Hebburn when I was young in the 1950s.I knew nothing else about him.
By coincidence I met a man called Walter List many years ago and he lived in Palmer Cres, Hebburn and he was probably his son.He may still live there?

When I was little he had flat hand carts which he hired out.

Yes Neil I recall Roy. A cockney business man who drove a Jaguar. Roy was working with us on the DSS building at Longbenton. His JCB driver dug too far down and hit the main cable, blowing the bucket off ! We ran short of building sand and he loaned us a small bag of it, and he never let up about it !
