Here is a photograh taken by a Mr Fred Ivey in 1963.It is taken in the yard of Titley’s Mill Uttoxeter which was more or less opposite Macdonalds and shows a 1932 ex Derby Corporation Ransomes vehicle. and had been there since 1952 Behind it is an ex Wolverhampton vehicle just arrived at the site.A well known councillor Mr William Clarke lived in the Derby one and I think the other was a replacement.His own home was Heath House which was compulsery purchased by the Council and is still there between the Uttoxeter Fire Station and the Three Tuns pub and looks a fine house.If I remember the school dentist was or is there but not sure.The copyright is held by the British Trolley Bus Society and I have permission to put this on this site for Truck Net and no other.
Are you sure I put I had put Titley’s Mill Photo on .I can’t remember doing that and having permission of the British Trolley Society.I will check it out and ask Tim Jeffcote about it.Although I have seen it on other subjects.Tony UNQUOTE.
