johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-09-13 09:48	The front entrance bus is probably a Bedford OWB of Newbury and District, which had Duple or Mulliner coachwork, but they also operated a few Dennis Ace 20 seaters. The high street sports a Super Snipe, a Vauxhall with the boot open, and a Minx, plus a Series III Wolseley and a Ford(son) ET6 belonging to Vono, who made beds in Staffs. (Tividale, now in West Midlands.) Newbury best known for being a service station? You're obviously not a racing man. https://www.freeracingtips.co.uk/newbury/ -- Last edit: 2016-09-13 14:01:25
