Leyland Lorries

BKS SB

The origins of Leyland lorries are found
in steam wagon manufacture in the town
of Leyland, Lancashire. The
manufacturer, then known as the
Lancashire Steam Motor Company, was
established in 1884. By 1904 the first
petrol-engined lorry was built and in
1907 the company name was changed to
Leyland Motors Limited.

Leyland produced a range of vehicles
over the following decades, from steam
wagons and petrol-engined lorries to bus
and, eventually, eight-wheeled lorries.
The postwar years saw a series of
mergers and acquisitions, including the
eventual merger with the British Motor
Corporation in the late 1960s, which
lead to the creation of British Leyland.
For the enthusiast, Leyland produced a
wide range of vehicles over the years
for both the domestic and international
market.

Lavishly illustrated with an array of
rare and unpublished photographs,
Leyland Lorries is the perfect companion
for anyone wanting to learn more of the
Leyland story.
