This bright sign was on a new large lorry at Paul Martland's Knackers Yard. Its a Scania 580 164l and is called Charlotte and has a number plate "V3 COW".
Based in Burscough, Lancashire, a few miles to the north of Ormskirk, Martlands is a family owned business which has been trading for over 100 years. The business was started around the turn of the 20th century by William Martland who was contracted by the British Military at Lathom Remount for the slaughter of horses not fit enough to go to war. From these origins, it has expanded over the years into the business you can see now.
