Hello all,
A chat with my great aunt revealed that my great, great, great uncle was behind the first bus operator in Barnsley (supposedly). The operator was called Mills (or so I'm told) and apparently it sold up to Yorkshire Traction.
Does anyone know more? I'm trying to find out more about this operator. Can you help?
Many thanks,
Michael
