Deepdene Boy 642 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Does anybody have any memories of a printing company called Hunt & Co, I believe that they were located in Basford. Amongst other things they printed ticket rolls for use in the Bell Punch Ultimate ticket machines used by NCT from the late 1940s onwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think they were called Hunt and Colley and were on Hucknall Rd. Basford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,674 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 From the 1930s when it was H.Hunt and Co , Ticket Printers, Hucknall-road (opposite Leonard-avenue). There was a court case when they were sued by a paper supplier . Hunts didn't pay for the paper as it was 5 thousands of an inch too thick to go through the Trent Bus Co ticket machines ! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Perrorist 2 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I worked at Hunt and Colley's in the 50s (also at Trent). I'll post my experiences later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
