Body: 1936 Roe 24-seat S/D bus (Ash frame with steel panelling) HL7538 entered service with West Riding Automobile Services in Wakefield in 1936 and then moved to Anglesey in 1949. It became well-known in the aged hands of Mr. E. Prichard who drove it regularly in service for the next twenty years, until he reached the age of 84. It passed to Hollis of Queensferry in 1969 where it was robbed of many of its components until it was bought for preservation in 1979 by Pat Smith of West Bromwich. Restoration work started but made slow progress. The stripped down vehicle was then stored for the next twelve years until it was purchased by Emertons of Nantwich who completed the restoration.
