A buck rake at rest against a split rail fence at the farm museum.

I took two shots of this old rake from the same postion and just varied the camera angle. I am not sure which one I like best.

The annual cutting and raking of the grass at Thurlbear to ensure the nutrient ratio is maintained.

Rake's Progress

The youth use the smaller wagon and lift the leaves up and over using large yellow bags.

I'm 33 and I still feel this way!

Taken mainly to rake Delaney over the coals in references to his previous denunciations of the practice of drawing from photos. "This is totally different!"

The attractive raked front end of 1940 Bristol K 5G chassis with Brislington Bodyworks Works body and Gardener 5LW 7.0 litre 5-cylinder diesel engine (hence 5G in the designation), Registration No.GHT154, at the Bristol Bus Show, Brislington, 27 July 2025. The Brislington Bodyworks were a subsidiary company of Bristol Commercial Vehicles.

The bus is in the lovely blue livery of the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co. (Fleet No.992, then C3336) who received 271 K’s to replace Bristol’s trams. It was withdrawn in 1953 and sold to a travelling showman who used it until 1972 and it was bought for preservation the following year.

The Bristol K classes were produced in 1936-57 and the subject of many variations and developments. The K’s were the first Bristol double deck bus type to use only diesel engines – Bristol 6-cylinder engines (code 6B), Gardner 4, 5 or 6-cylinder (G4, G5 or G6) or AEC 6-cylinder (6A). The types were:

K - introduced 1936, 26’x7’6”, 2,774 built.

KW – introduced 1947, 26’x8’, wide version of K, 20 built. Although the Construction and Use Regulations allowed only 7’6” wide buses, it was possible to build wider buses for a specific operator if they got special permission from the local licensing authority, which presumably accounts for this small batch of KW’s.

Revised Construction and Use Regulations in 1950 allowed longer (27’6”) and wider (8’) buses, hence:

KL – proposed 30’x8’ long version never produced as regulations did not allow such long buses at the time and no operator sought special permission from their local licensing authority.

KS – built 1950-57; 27’6” x 7’6”, short version of KL but had narrow body for restricted routes, 236 built.

KSW – built 1950-57; 27’6” x 8’, wide version of KS, 1,116 built.
