Fantastic that was my Great Grans Bus. Mrs Hannah Hitchens. She lived up the Bowjey until the late 80's when she died aged 94. She was on a television programme called walking westard with Clive Gunnel.

Great to see another of her buses.

They used to keep them parked in a garage by the Tolcarne Inn. It got destroyed during the ash wednesday storm
 
It really makes it worth while to have uploaded this picture to get a response like that. A family connection of such importrance and a memory kept alive to provide continuity with the history of this area. Thank you.
