Last Day...Hammerton Steet Depot

In the file attached this shows John Welch (Depot Engineer) and Norman Parker (Operations Manager) about to shake hands as Norman and his wife board one of the last buses to leave the Depot. John then had the job with the storeman (in brown coat) to replace all the legal lettering on former WYRCC buses to include the Swinegate address in Leeds covering East Parade Harrogate as the operator licence address.

So sorry to learn of Tony Collins demise. Our thoughts are with his family..from Leo Shackleton

Three items received recently. One of Eddie Davis who I saw for the first time in many years at this years reunion.  The other two B/W’s are from David Rhodes, the son of the former DTS at Bradford, George Rhodes. The first B/W is from the 1972 Dinner dance. The second shows the Traffic Office staff at Bradford in 1959. A very young David Allan is seen crouching at the front!
