High Lane, Brown Edge ? 1970
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 31 Aug 1970
Turner's were a small family bus company based in the village, typical of several small operators in the Potteries area serving what had been industrial communities. Both Smallthorne and Norton were essentially colliery villages. Unlike many such operators which purchased second hand vehicles, the majority of Turner's fleet were purchased new, and were kept in very smart condition. Bus no.7 is a Daimler Fleetline with Northern Counties bodywork which entered service just a couple of months before this picture was taken. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
