Seagull Leyland PS1/1 From 1947

A week or so ago a friend of mine suggested I viewed the Duple Coachworks Facebook site as he observed a former Great Yarmouth coach there with the EX5555 Great Yarmouth registration.



I found another photo of EX5555 on the SCT61 website taken by the late John Boylett. It was of a Duple C33F bodied Leyland PS1/1 when it was with Canhams of Whittlesey in September 1964. It had been new to Seagull of Great Yarmouth in 1947 and Canhams had acquired it from Pegg of Caston in April 1960.

Approval to use the photo was obtained from David Lang at the SCT61 website which features an archive of bus, trolleybus and tram photos from the 1960s and earlier. Other pictures of 'local buses' found include Great Yarmouth's CEX490, an Albion NS3N Nimbus with a Willowbrook B31F body

My thanks to David for his consent to use the photo
