BRIGHTON & HOVE BUS NAMES
by Mike Cheesman and Adam Trimingham
Published by Pomegranate Press
Here’s a treat not only for bus buffs but for anyone who’s wondered what all those people remembered on the front of Brighton & Hove buses actually did for the city. The company says it gets more queries about the bus names than about its services, so this book is meeting an established need. Produced in full colour, it includes pen portraits by veteran Argus reporter Adam Trimingham, together with photographs of the personalities themselves and the buses on which they appear.
Extending alphabetically from Micky Adams to Bobby Zamora, and including such wildly varied notables as Sir Winston Churchill, Fat Boy Slim, Martha Gunn, Derek Jameson, Rudyard Kipling, Desmond Lynam, Lord Olivier, the Prince Regent, Magnus Volk and Norman Wisdom, it’s nothing less than a people-centred potted history of Brighton and Hove.
