Derby 111 was one of the last Crossley double-deck chassis built and also one of the last to run in service, being withdrawn in 1970. It was one of a batch of five which were the only postwar Brush-bodied Crossleys. It was bought for preservation by Mike Howarth on withdrawal and is seen being driven by him the following summer climbing past Greenfield station on its way to the Astle Park traction engine rally at Chelford on 15th August 1971. At this stage the station buildings were remarkably intact.
