Phil Kelsey: Garages and coaches 1920s,1930s

I can remember the garage being built on the corner of Mill Road, it was about ’26.  I wasn’t very old.  I can remember them building that.  Royal Blue from Bournemouth had it built and they used to keep their Royal Blue coaches to go round the island.    There was another coach company in Yarmouth, Saunders  – yellow coaches.  They used to keep one down there on the corner where the Harbour Commissioners have got their yard. They used it during the war, the people on fire duty had a hut down there.  I know Newt and George, before they were called up, they used to take turn at nights down there. Phil Kelsey b 1920
