This was sent to me so ain’t got a clue of its origins, will remove if asked,
Starr Roadways, looks like Blackburn on the door, anyone recognise the company? Nice looking Atki anyway, Cheer’s PeteHiya,
One of Griffith’s of Blackburn, W H Bowker took these over but I haven’t
got a clue why the Starr headboard, other than it was in it’s position of
having been purchased and awaiting it’s new paint job, I do remember
the motor though.
thanks harry, long retired.
I believe that Griffiths used to sub for Starr Roadways, hence the headboard. As Harry says, Bowker took over Griffiths (actually, there were two Blackburn operators called Griffiths, and Bowker bought both), and I have a photo of VTC 953 in full Bowker livery
