Trackbed of Bloore's Siding (CHP1 @ 15m 13ch)
Describing a clandestine journey in the brake van on the High Peak in "All About Derbyshire" in 1884 Edward Bradbury asks: "Who is Bloore that he should have a siding? He is evidently a man of bricks." Bradbury was right and the entry 'Bloore's Minninglow Brickworks Siding' appears very prominently in early timetables and rulebooks.Trackbed of Bloore's Siding (CHP1 @ 15m 13ch)
Trent buses: BMMO-built Reg No, RC7927 (built 1940), and Leyland Cub Reg No. YRC151 (built 1962) at Belper Bus Garage
Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Company. (BMMO), a.k.a. "Midland Red".Belper Bus Garage also serves as a small bus station. The front entrance of the bus garage faces on to the main A6 road, but originally buses entered via the rear of the building. However, modern buses which are slightly longer can’t fit through the rear entrance and this was closed off some time ago. There used to be a pedestrian entrance at the rear of the bus garage but that was also closed many years ago, so both buses and passengers have to use the front entrance these days.
