About the Book
This is the first in a series devoted to a countrywide selection from my photographic visits around Britain.
The period covered relates to the days when one could get a sense of place from the local bus livery which were many and varied.
This volume covers from Rayleigh/Southend in the south , up via. Colchester to Ipswich & Lowestoft in the north. It is mainly a record of traditional exposed-radiator bus types still working in the late '60s-early '70s, with a few second-hand and preserved examples as a postscript for each operator.
The second volume covers Kent & Sussex -to Hampshire. There will be 11 volumes in all.

About the Creator
David Christie
Foulden. near Berwick-upon-Tweed, - Scotland.(just!)
Originally from Romford, Essex where I travelled all over GB photographing railways (from 1962) and buses(from 1967). I moved up to Scotland in 1973 where I continued to record but now mainly preserved transport. The occasional trip south to see my favourite Bluebell railway and others was enjoyed. My main occupation upon moving north was for some time chasing A4 No.60009 'Union of South Africa' on its many railtours. Visits were also made to the Settle & Carlisle and on many occasions to the West Highland line. Most books produced from Alloa but from Jul'13 moved to near Berwick-upon-Tweed only 1/2 mile into Scotland.
