Lloyd Johnson… Anyone remember Dengate Buses parked in Wellington Square and the bus drivers in their white linen coats?..now that was so 1920s and still around in the early 60s…
Mick O’Dowd… Remember them well!
Nigel Livermore… If you were on your way to Hastings town centre and waiting in London Road, St.Leonards in the fifties or early sixties, you would sometimes have the luck to ride in one of these wonderful old Bedford OBs, driven by an often-elderly gentleman in a flat cap and mac. As ticket-collecting schoolboys, we would often wait long periods to catch one. Memories………
Tracy Birrell… I remember them in the 60’s.
Peter Ellingworth… Wasn’t parking up in Wellington Square supposed to be a temporary measure from pre-war until the proposed dedicated bus interchange that was never built, and then only when the rail station rebuild works took place ?
Marilyn Leslie Holloway… The school campsite was in Beckley and to get into local villages and towns we needed to catch a Dengate bus. Some hills were simply too much for the dear old things in 1965.
