Nottingham CT 370, Basford, Nottingham, 1966

            En route to Cinderhill, Nottingham City Transport 370 passing the offices of the 'British Association of Colliery Management' on Nottingham Road Basford in July 1966. The British Association of Colliery Management were a trade union founded in 1940, but never gained any real traction in recruiting high membership numbers in the mining industry. In later years it became the British Association of Colliery Management – Technical, Energy and Administrative Management (BACM-TEAM), recruiting members outside of the coal industry. In 2014, it merged with the 'Prospect' union. Today, this building still stands but is with different occupiers.

The domineering Victorian era building behind the bus was once used as public offices. I do not know what its subsequent use was? However, the building was demolished to make way for a  public house named 'The Haven' that opened its doors in September 1971. The public house was designed by architects W.B.Starr, Clifford & Carman for the Shipstone  Brewery Co. Today, the pub still stands, but is named the Willow Tree Inn and is still trading in 2025. 

With regards to the bus, 370 was a Weymann bodied AEC Renown 3B3RA that was new to Nottingham City Transport (NCT) in April 1965. After service with NCT, 370 passed to F C Moore (T/A Viceroy Coaches) of Saffron Walden, Essex. In 1996 the bus passed to the Nottingham Heritage Centre at Ruddington, where it was restored back into its NCT condition. In 2007, 370 was tragically destroyed by fire along with other closely parked buses at the Hertiage Centre. This was due to the actions of children who got aboard one of the vehicles and set fire to it, the fire spreading to other buses. 

In 2025, two other ex Nottingahm AEC Renowns survive, both are unrestored. 372 is in private ownership and is used as a living quarters on a site in Colwick, Nottingham. The other is 366, which is in a poor state and resides at the Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity's premises at Hucknall, Nottingham.
