Hills Carrying Company of Bulls and Hunterville
In the summer in the early 1950s during the peak of the fat lamb season Hill’s Morris Commercial had unloaded at Greatford rail and was headed back to Bulls for another load when over the Greatford overbridge came a Riley 9 that had no show of stopping. It hit the Morris in the cab and wrote off both vehicles.
Hills Carrying Co. of Bulls and Hunterville
The Hill family moved to Bulls in 1917, when William obtained a contract from the Manawatu District Council to cart metal from the bed of the Rangitikei River and load it into the wagons of the Sanson Tramway. The tramway was a council built and operated railway that ran from the south end of the Bulls’ Bridge to Himatangi where it joined the New Zealand Government Railways line that ran from Longburn to Foxton.
