Tour and excursion guidebook issued by the United Counties Omnibus Co. Ltd., Northampton - c1950
United Counties was, geographically, one of the smaller bus operators prior to the formation of the National Bus Company - clustered primarily in the counties of Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. This 1950s (dated by adverts) guide is, artistically rather a throwback to the 1930s and I wonder if earlier artwork was used? By the early '50s, with post-WW2 austerity on the wane, holidays and coaching excursions became more available and booklets such as these were issued by most bus and coach operators to publicise their excursions and express services.
