I didn’t know much about lorries in the 1950s, but our Edinburgh coalman delivered it from a flatbed lorry, similar to the Dinky Toys Fordson I used in my Tinplate Cakebox Model. We lived in a tenement flat and the coal bunker was located behind a cupboard door in the kitchen. My mum had to lay newspaper on the floor from the front door to the kitchen, then give the kitchen a good wash down afterwards, because the coal dust got everywhere!
