July
Tuesday 14th – Fremington Village Hall
The bus up the dale – talk by Reuben Frankau.
Our July talk has a local history theme. Local historian Reuben Frankau will present an illustrated talk about “The Bus up the Dale”. Older residents in this area may remember Percival Brothers (Coaches) Ltd, an historic local family firm that provided vital links to Richmond for over 50 years before closing in 1971. Developing from a horse-drawn service, it became a cherished Swaledale institution.
The talk will be on Tuesday 14th July, 7:30pm in Fremington Village Hall; non-members welcome with a suggested donation of £5.
Due to copyright issues, this talk will NOT be recorded.
