Bristol Omnibus Co Records
published by Derrick Norton on Mon, 26/09/2016 - 11:28

My Grandfather Frederick Norton drove trams on the sea front from 1919 until 1937 when they were apparently fazed out. I have tried to trace Bristol Omnibus Co. records in case they were relevant but without success. Can anyone offer help, please?
