Another photo of the Foden 4 ton capacity wagon on demonstration during 1918 and seen in the yard of George Fryer's joinery works in Hazel Grove. It appears that Fryer did not purchase the wagon and it was sold to a business in Barmouth at the beginning of 1919. George Fryer never had a brickworks in Hazel Grove although he did operate brickworks at Tenement Lane, Bramhall and also in adjacent Adswood. They say the camera cannot lie, but this image could certainly be misleading.

This one is a bit of a puzzle as I cannot definitely locate the brickworks of George Fryer in Hazel Grove. The only candidate is that at Norbury Moor so I can only surmise that this was his at the time. The Foden steam lorry was first registered in 1918 so the photo is post WW1. Fryer was operating from Tenement Lane brickworks in Cheadle Hulme in the late 1920s and this was absorbed into the J & A Jackson group c1929.
