3rd December 2011

Bus services in the Heavy Woollen towns were provided by Yorkshire Woollen District Transport Co, based at garages in Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Liversedge. The company had used a maroon and cream livery until 1953, but in that year as a result of spray painting, an all over red livery was introduced.

DHD177 was delivered in 1959 and withdrawn in October 1971 being sold to North’s, the Sherburn-in-Elmnet dealers.

DHD177 has enjoyed a varied career since and is now in its second spell of preservation. Initially sold in September 1972 to Lincolnshire operator, Peter Sheffield of Cleethorpes, with whom it served for 6 years. It was first bought for preservation in December 1978 by a Group in Batley but was later sold to Darlington based driver training school Drivewell.

In January 1991 it returned to preservation in Dewsbury and was bought by me October 1997 (the first bus I bought and still its not on road smile
