It looks expensive to me to go to Blackpool, it would cost £1. .25. For a family of four, wages in 1954 - 1955 would have been less than 10 a week

Our Joseph, I can just hear you singing "One Man went to Mow" on a Walls's coach on the way to th' illuminations on a late September/early October night!

I am nearly sure that Albert Walls started when he took over from Grays coaches in the late 40's or early 50's!

That was me, Our Irene, HAHAHA! Then I would go around with a flat cap to each person for a donation for the driver.

Bill F According to Grayways web site Walls started in 1926 and Gray Brothers in 1933.
