Buses of Bristol and Somerset

Using previously unpublished images, Richard Stubbings looks at how the bus scene in south west England has evolved since the 1970s.

Richard Stubbings’ interest in buses was sparked at an early age, watching the Bristol K-types and FLFs of Western National trundling back and forth outside his childhood garden.

This book, the first of three making up a nostalgic tour of his native West Country, comprises previously unpublished photographs from his collection showing Bristol and Somerset from the early 1970s to the present day. It charts the changes in vehicles from the author’s childhood to the current scene, even revisiting many of the same locations.
