Who remembers Grantham Road Services?

July 13, 2017 by Grantham Matters 4 Comments

                   Grantham Road Services depot, Harlaxton Road in 1972

Brian Overbury-Crowther recalls that many years ago a transport firm of some note existed on the corner of Trent Road and Harlaxton Road called Grantham Road Services.

Originally it was part of ther nationalised BRS

It was a well established Grantham transport company serving Grantham companies and transport requirements further afield.

He says: “I have found impossible to locate any photographs of the vehicles  or personal accounts of any old members of staff who once worked for GRS as it was affectionately known.

“I worked for GRS in the very early 1970s and remember the company and workforce with much affection “

If anyone has any photos of the depot or the trucks, please send them to GranthamMatters@gmail.com and we will publish them and forward copies to Mr Overbury-Crowther.
