1950's Public Transport
A pair of classic public service vehicles which would have been working hard in the 1950's, standing on the cobbled town street at Beamish Museum.
On the left is a 1949 Crossley SD42/7 coach with a Burlingham body, registered FUN 319. The coach, with it's 8.6 litre Crossley engine and "crash" gearbox, belongs to Wright Bros Coaches of Nenthead in Upper Weardale who have owned it since 1959.
To the right of it is Beamish Museum's own 1954 ex-Rotherham Corporation Daimler CVG6 (registered KET 220) with it's Weymann body, 8.4 litre Gardner engine and Wilson pre-select gearbox.
