My ma once said to me when I was off swimming down the Trent, with my pals, " Be careful and don't come running back 'ere if ya get drowned".

That brings back memories. Mackesons were used for the school trips at Mellish and Pascoe’s, the electrical people in Bulwell, used to supply the public address system on school sports days.

Did they serve milk stout on the Hucknall run?

Surely you mean Makemsons

 

There is a great slideshow here with some shots of a Marsden store for our Ben

The Omnibus Society | Makemson, Bulwell, Nottingham (zenfolio.com)

There is also some good stuff on the Bulwell photos Facebook site including a red and cream Makemsons single decker in a montage of a number of their coaches.

Sorry, I was just copying Notty Ash’s wording.

I used to drive one like that for MAKEMSON, when I worked part time for them. I did a colliery run from top of St.Albans road, via Bestwood road to Calverton colliery. I've also worked as a conductor on their Bulwell market to Bestwood village, on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm fairly sure that was a lowdecker with the long bench seats and gangway down the starboard side.( the one in Oz's link).

If you're on Facebook there's a lot of old Makemson's photos here....
