I would reckon it’s heading for Tunstead or Taylor Friths at Dove Holes . It’s outside the Grove Hotel turning down Spring Gardens and it will be a tight squeeze under the old bridge on Fairfield Road .
I should be with the Riley’s this weekend at Newark.

That AEC I don’t remember at all Paul, or the name of the operator? However in 1972 I was still living ‘down south’ and had barely heard of Derbyshire, let alone Ashbourne, and had yet to meet the future Mrs Windrush who dragged me up country! 
I reckon Mick (Malmic) will know all about it though, he’s a clever lad!

Late 60’s and early 70’s(when I worked for Allen’s) I worked with Bill Bannister out of Croxden Gravel, Cheadle for several years - hence the green livery. If you could see the tailgate it would have the phone number Tean 393 in the centre panel. Bill lived in Ashbourne and his brother Des lived in Alton. Des ran an immaculate LAD-cabbed three-axle Leyland with a high sided body. They were both working out of Croxden long after I went on to pastures new.
