The Bristol Omnibus Company can trace its origins to 1875, when Sir
George White formed the Bristol Tramways Company. The company
operated its first city bus service, a horse-bus to Clifton, in
1887 and first introduced motor buses in 1906. Not satisfied with
the vehicles that it had bought, in 1908 the company began to
manufacture its own buses and soon began to sell them to other
operators as well, Bristol buses being built for use both in
Britain and abroad for 75 years. Bristol buses carried a scroll
logo adopted from the Bristol Aeroplane Company, also set up by Sir
George White, to commemorate the building of Bristol Fighters at
Brislington tram works during the First World War. Following the
Second World War, the company was nationalised, later to be
re-privatised in the 1980s. In this book, Bristol bus expert Mike
Walker uses a wide range of images to tell the story of buses in
the city of Bristol.
