Green Bus Company, Brindley Heath, Hednesford, 1969

            Whieldon trading as the Green Bus Company (GBC) was a long established independent bus operator based in Rugeley, Staffordshire. The company operated a fleet of mainly second hand buses, of a variety of types, providing services from Rugeley to the sounding villages and towns including Cannock and Stafford. The business and its assets were taken over by the Midland Red in 1973.

In this view taken on 4th April 1969, CCP608 an ex Halifax Corporation, AEC Regent works the Rugeley to Cannock service. The bus is pictured on Brindley Heath Road passing Dunford's timber yard, as it approaches Hednesford Town. GBC operated a number of these ex Halifax AECs, having acquired them just three years prior.

Today, the scene is somewhat changed, the distant terraced housing on Brindley Heath Road long replaced with more modern dwellings. However, Dunsford's timber yard remains recognisable and the Walsall to Rugeley railway line still runs along the cutting to the right of picture.

Scanned from the original negative.
