20805

Subject: Pellet and Smith, Pontnewydd HAB 437
Chassis: Tilling-Stevens TSM
Body: Dutfield C33F
Location: unknown
Date: c.Aug-1956

Pellet and Smith traded as Gwent Coaches and as far as I am aware only had one other coach which was a Pearson-bodied Commer Commando.

HAB 437 has brought passengers on a rather poor summer day to an unknown destination. The presence of former Midland Red Guy Arab HHA 26, recently moved to the fleet of Warner's of Tewkesbury, points to the latter town but whilst the buildings are of the right style I cannot find a match for the location.

Despite the Worcestershire registration this vehicle was new to Creamline of Tonmawr in May 1949 and ran for them until November 1952.
