For ‘Hulleys of Baslow’ /1, see blog posted 01/04/2021. For part 2 see blog posted 05/04/2021.
This series will now run almost daily until I run out of images to post.
So, watch this space.
April 2021 sees the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of what has become ‘Hulleys of Baslow’, the well known Derbyshire based independent bus operator.
Founded by Henry Hulley, the ownership of the company has changed hands more than once but the name of its founder has survived all the changes.
I have known the company for over 60 years and during that time the buses initially painted (in my time at least) in shades of red and red and grey have been a fixture in Rutland Square in Bakewell.
These days, the livery has changed to cream and dark blue.
A combination that ‘Hulleys’ inherited from ‘South Notts’ when buses were bought from that fleet and the livery adopted.
Although Hulleys ‘main line’ is probably its service number 170 from Bakewell to Chesterfield via Baslow.
The company operates widely across North Derbyshire, to Sheffield and in the past year to Manchester.
