Sutton's Coaches of Clacton-on-Sea.
Sutton's were the first owners of LVW727 a 1947 Leyland Tiger PS1/1 with Duple C33F coachwork,It is seen here looking a bit run down after it had been used by Bickers of Coddenham.A lot of old bickers vehicles ended their days put out to grass in Coddenham.One of Suttons garages used to be in the old life boat premises.when the lifeboat was moved to a new location the sea inlet was filled in by the council and a roundabout and road way constructed,now known as Angels Field...Suttons moved in and used the large lifeboat house as a garage.I will dig out a photo of an AEC Q coach in there sometime.The building still survives it is now 'The Old Lifeboat House'public house.
