There's nowt wrong with a cow!:)

I see you live in Cleverland - I remember when it was the North Riding (of Yorkshire).

My parents settled in Guisborough when they were first married (although they later moved to Tyneside).

Guisborough is the next place to us, we live in Skelton. There is an old sign, black and white pole, cast circle on top that says north riding of Yorkshire. I am proud to live inside this boundary line.

Between Guisborough and Whitby, in the 1950s there used to be a gateway with a kennel where a sheepdog was housed to stop the sheep from wandering along the A171 road from one piece of the moor to the next.
After many years they installed a cattle grid . . .

Dog probably passed on and left instructions in his will that no other dog should stand sentry so paid for a cattle grid from his insurance money!:D

Ha ha. i like stories like that. Little snippets of memories, small things that we notice we remember. On a drive near egton bridge one summer evening we saw sheep being herded down the lane past our car. the collie jumped up at the window. No idea where it was, retraced our trip, but never seem to find it.

Back to the boring stuff; :(

is there any way i can trace the history of the 1st bus that got WRC reg. according to bus list on the web(?) FCP311W was rebodied from BNC612C. I can't find anything at all about this. my 1st post on this thread i gave its chassis details, but i don't know if they refer to it before or after rebody. NC, denoted manchester reg, but i cant find any info of anything with similar reg, if it was a fleet order when new. I would like to know what it looked like, when i put the numbers into flickr or googlie it shows all sorts of stuff. Alexandered bodies, service buses, and coaches. I'm a novice, so easily puzzled.

Thanks.
