Berresford's Nimbus.
Whilst 'Berresfordsmotors' and I chose to replicate something from this steeped in folklore fleet with our Ex St. Helen's Corp. AEC Swift, this is the genuine article. NSG 869 is a prototype Albion Nimbus which was operated in several stints by the Cheddleton based firm. Miraculously it survived various culls of withdrawn vehicles, even that at the end after the closure and merger with PMT. The little bus was acquired firstly by Berresford's mechanical forman who stored it at nearby Consall, then passing to a former POPS member, but latterly and most importantly to Trevor and Carol Walters who restored it to it's present glory. It's seen here giving pleasure to it's passengers at todays Potteries Connection running day based on Longton Stoke on Trent.
