Familiar Boston Transport

Some once familiar vehicles in Boston.

Skinners Ice cream van.

Lincolnshire Road Car bus.
I was informed by an anonymous reader that two of the Lincs Road Car Bristol double deckers that were once based at the Boston depot finished up owned by a tour company at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains NSW, this info was given to them by Steve Shaw who as a school kid lived in the prefabs in Carlton Road and has lived in Australia for many years.


Tower Hill Transport.

Sharp's Buses.


W.W.Johnson Seed Merchants.

    Great blog, Billy. Keep up the good work.

    Here's a link you might find interesting:

    It's a rarely seen 15-minute film about Boston, made in 1943, now available to watch online.
