Jeffreys Coaches, Bedford/Duple UNT 132.
Further to 'berresfordmotors' postings of Jeffreys coaches, and comments by 'reddman', here's a pic of their Super Vega UNT 132 on the parking ground adjacent to their Charlotte Street Garage.
When it became clear that the longstanding Jeffrey's business was giving up, rather than face the struggle which fellow Goldenhill operator Stoniers were going through with regard to finding replacement premises, I decided that I'd better take a few photos. Swallowing my 'anti lightweight' pride, I ventured the hundred yards across the village in my lunch break. UNT 132 was something of a dinosaur with it's petrol (gasoline) engine at the time, but if it was old, then the business itself was ancient, having it's roots back in 1863.
The settlement in the background is the village of Newchapel, famous amongst industrial historians as the burial place of canal engineer James Brindley.
