This was originally the home of Booth and Fisher, a long established independent operator of bus services in the area. After the formation of the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive in the early 1970s, such operators found it difficult to survive, and Booth and Fisher were taken over by the PTE. Since the breaking up of the operations of the PTE under the 1985 Transport Act, the wheel has turned further, and the premises are once again owned by a smaller operator, TM Travel.
