Legendary Devon-based haulier Harris & Miners/Brian Harris Transport is the subject of a new book by John W Henderson

A new book, which charts the history of celebrated Devon haulier Brian Harris Transport, has been published.

The 160-page hardback book, features over 230 photographs, many of which have never been published before. Informative captions, some concise text paragraphs and a fleet list all complement the images of Devon’s unique, Harris & Miners and the subsequent Brian Harris Transport fleets.

Author John W Henderson, who is a regular contributor to Commercial Motor, was privileged to call Brian Harris a friend for over two decades. His pictures from regular visits to the firm’s Bovey Tracey depot, up until closure in 2001, are complemented by images of the Devon trucks’ weekly trips to Scotland. Important historical images from the cameras of long-standing truck enthusiasts Rick Ferrari and Geoff Milne add much value to the volume, as do several key pictures from the collections of the Harris family’s official biographer John Corah and the late Brian Harris.
