Bus exhibition is not to be missed
Here's a forthcoming exhibition Shropshire folk will want to catch - as it features the county's buses, along with other aspects of local transport heritage.
Shrewsbury Railway Heritage Trust is staging the display, being run jointly with the County of Salop Steam Engine Society, and which is themed on Shropshire haulage firms and bus companies.
It is being held at the trust's base at Abbey Foregate station and its adjoining car park in Shrewsbury on August 5 from 10am to 3pm.
It will feature many familiar names from the county's past and present bus heritage, like Valley Motors, Whittles, Browns, Elcocks, and W.E. Lewis, together with some less familiar ones.
"There's Hailstone's, a company we had not heard of before, and nobody we've spoken to seems to have heard of them either," said David Morris, of the trust, who joked that perhaps they should try ringing their number written on the buses - Churchstoke 219.
