King Alfred Motor Services were one of the few privately owned bus companies to run a municipal bus service. The company was a family business, R Chisnell & Sons Ltd, to give it its official name when it became a registered company in 1939. Its fleet always included the latest types and was every bit as professional as the big bus companies that surrounded it. Yet, all the time, King Alfred buses were proudly independent with the statue of King Alfred on their green side panels to add that ultimate distinction. King Alfred Motor Services was founded by Robert Chisnell senior, who had many business interests in Winchester, including tobacconist shops, ?Sausage Potato & Onion? restaurants and later a garage business. His first involvement with passenger transport was in 1915, using a variety of small motor vehicles to transport troops to and from various camps in the area (because his horses had been requisitioned for war work!). This book is lavishly illustrated with archive photographs and many from private collections, some published here for the first time. This book will be of immense interest to modellers and those with an interest in the history of road transport. Ref FCA 1. Nº de ref. del artículo: 032911
