Horse Drawn Beach Bus - 1947
Before Eastern National operated a bus service along the seafront, the
Crow brothers operated 2 very attractive horse-drawn landau carriages
during the summer months. David Williams also operated the beach bus,
also horse-drawn. The photograph shows passengers alighting the beach
bus, from outside the old Rio Cinema. The 'attentive' man we think was
Maurice Scott, whose parents were coal merchants in Haven Road.
