| On 4th October 2008. Barton's celebrated their centenary, at their Chilwell headquarters, in Nottingham. The chill wind that blew all day, could not outdo the warmth of the occasion extended to visitors and exhibitors alike. It had a wonderful sixties feel about it and numerous bus trips were enjoyed in a wonderful selection of vehicles. These pictures record memories of that nostalgic day. Thank you Simon Barton and your team. |
