The Lion dates back to as early as the 14th century. Hedingham and District bus L42 on a works service. This was a family business set up in 1960 in Sible Hedingham which survived the upheavals of the 1985 Transport Act to continue to provide local bus services in the area, finally selling to the Go-Ahead group in 2012. The Hedingham fleetname continues to be used. Bus L42 is a Bristol LS with ECW body, originally new to Eastern National in 1955. 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
