West Bridgford buses in Sth. Parade, Nottingham - 1961

            An old 3" x 2" amateur photograph of a pair of AEC West Bridgford UDC (WBC) buses in South Parade (Old Market Square), Nottingham. They are DRR11 (fleet No. 16), and TRR953 (fleet No. 30). Behind them is the Nottingham Council House (City Hall).

The photo reverse has the location and year taken, but no photographer name.

DRR11 comprised an AEC Regent chassis, a Park Royal body seating 57 (H31/26R), and was new to WBC in Oct 1937. It was withdrawn from service in 1962, I have no details of its history after that. Considering it was 25 years old it might have gone straight to be scrapped.

TRR953 comprised an AEC Regent V chassis, a Park Royal body seating 61 (H33/28R), and was new to WBC in Dec 1955. It transferred to Nottingham City Transport in 1968 when it was renumbered as 276, being withdrawn by them in 1970 and sold to Fisher & Ford of Barnsley for scrap. 

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷  Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location.  📷
