Hutchings & Cornelius, Yeovil.

After reading a comment by 'pwgb' on my other posted shot of Yeovil Bus Station, I went on an electronic rummage to find a photo of the Safeway liveried LH in the colours of it's first owner, Hutchings & Cornelius. Bristol vehicles were very unusual in the fleets of small independents at the time, the AEC Reliance this side of it was more typical. The H&C operation always had the feel of a big company about it, but sadly it was all to end in tears with an industrial dispute soon after this photo was taken.
