More about this scene
In 1955 home car sales passed the 500,000 mark for the first time, but most people relied on buses or trains for getting around. In an earlier age Barnsley was served by stagecoach services to and from London, Leeds, Sheffield and Doncaster. Carriers like Edward Ridsdale operated waggons throughout Yorkshire and offered a freight forwarding service to anywhere within the UK, and Pearson & Co operated a comprehensive packet service on the Barnsley Canal to places such as Hull, Wakefield, Selby, Thorne, York and Gainsboro'.
