Dewsbury Bus Museum
1007 - BHL358C
Today’s Guy Wulfrunian photograph was taken on Lock Lane in Castleford as 1007 (BHL358C) approaches the old bridge over the River Aire with a 162 service from Leeds via Garforth. She is wearing the revised green livery that was applied in September 1967.
The large pub sign in the foreground was for the Britannia Inn and behind it were two car dealerships, both with petrol forecourts. The furthest one, selling Mobil products, was offering triple Green Shield stamps at the time. Ten years later, it would change to Elf petrol and become Castlepoint Autos, selling Renaults whilst the nearer one sold Nafta fuel and Skoda cars.
Behind the Wulfrunian was a motor parts shop where you could get almost anything for your car or light commercial. They would recondition starter motors and dynamos within 24 hours for 30/- (that’s thirty shillings or £1/10/0 - £1.50 in today’s money!)
