Thanks everyone for the info. I remember their depot during the sixties situated behind the filling station at Malin Bridge and what a depot it was. True transport setup of the time with oil drums scattered all over the place and what resembled a 4 wheel mobile Coles crane for loading. Vehicles included Albion,Atkinson, Foden, AEC, Leyland and even Maudslay. By the way, they also had a maintenance depot on Grimesthorpe Road. I know that cos I painted it.

Warringtons on Bradfield Road operated from Eagle garage and seemed to run a smart fleet painted dark blue. During the fifties, they also ran coaches under the Eagle Coaches fleetname.

I remember as a kid going to london in my dads new Albion when he worked at Parkers,

took all day to get there, a night in digs and all day back home.

now that was a real adventure for a 7 year old.

I worked at warringtons from 74-78 and most of the work was british steel and Bass and Whitbreads.Most of the fleet were Leyland Buffaloes.I have the copper plates used for printing letterheads for the coach bussiness.
