'On the Buses'

Ey up my faithful blogworms, been out a lot lately with working away and holidays, you know what it's like, but anyway back now on following a Yorkshire theme this week. 

Our area, Yorkshire, as any local will tell you is 'Gods Own County' in England. Getting around our county there are some spectacular sights to be seen. A lot of people do, believe it or not choose public transport !!

Which brings me too todays topic ..... Bus Blinds !!,, what's a bus blind I here you ask ?

A bus blind is the fabric roller that revolves in the front of bus, above the windscreen, showing the different destinations that route goes to.

See pics below: 


We've managed to get hold of a genuine late 1970's, early 1980's Bus Blind complete, coming off a Leeds 'First Bus' route, it has dozens of well known Yorkshire destinations on it and we are slicing them off and framing them up as great nostalgia pieces to grace any home.

The destinations are too many to mention here but go as far east as Skipton and as far west as York, Wakefield, out to Bradford area and over to Wetherby, Boston Spa and loads around the main Leeds area.




We also have blinds which are non geographic such as : Park & Ride, University, Private and Out of Service.

The top blind is framed in Leeds 'First Bus' colours as an upgrade to the basic ones shown below framed in black.


Unless we have ones framed up and in stock already, as these 3 are, you can order and have your favourite destination framed up either way to suit your preferences.





Some of you may have seen these framed mainly of London area destinations but why should Yorkshire be left out ???

Many, many people have fantastic memories of holidays spent in our humble county and why shouldn't we celebrate that with Yorkshire Bus Blinds as reminders (or even Milestones) for happy times spent here. 

As I said, we have dozens on the complete blind so why not contact us to see if we have your favourite location available ???

To grab hold of your fabulous Yorkshire Bus Blind, email me on: julian@milestone.uk.net or go to our facebook page and message me:  www.facebook.com/MilestoneEcoKitchens

Your favourite is within your grasp but bear in mind ! ... we only have one of each, so it's first come, first served !!!1

All aboard ! Jules
