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 Lavishly illustrated with an array of rare and unpublished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.
