The Pagefield ‘Model N’ subsidy lorry was only built in small numbers, served a hard life during the Great War and with a chassis prone to cracking it was thought that there were no survivors, until one turned up
Of all the British-built lorries which served during World War One, the Pagefield is probably the least well known.
Although the army lorry clearly showed the name Pagefield on the radiator top tank it was manufactured by the company of Walker Brothers which named the lorry after its Pagefield ironworks (named after the land it was built on ‘Page’s Fields’) in the northern industrial town of Wigan.
