Originally registered to United Bus Company but could have ended up with Eastern National when they merged in 1952. This sister bus shows what it would have looked like in its heyday.
Another Crow’s Dave not that you can see much of it. Clayton scouts bound for the Isle of Arran 1960 ish. Les.

The first photo reminded me of a photo my grandad had on his wall of an eight wheeler Maudsley , i think it was a BRS motor but could have been Longs , the location looks like Tillotsons at Burnley and that’s where i think my grandads photo was taken , then again i could be completely wrong because now i’ve got Manningham Park in my head … i need a pint
Must be the early days of W C Forder. Les.

That’s a strange one Les. Could be a bus chassis ? The cab looks like the front of the Albion buses they used to have in the Channel Islands.
Anyway, here’s a couple more I found on’t Net.
Regards John.

Hi Dave evidently started in 1895 by Francis Henry Davy, not many firms can match that, long time since I loaded there. Les.
