We are still seeking photographs and personal memories of bus and road transport from around the area, if you have photographs of lorries, vans and buses up to today, or photographs of the Rugby rag parade, please get in touch via our e-mail address below.

We are also seeking to preserve your memories of transportation in and around Rugby, this can be achieved by jotting down your memories and sending them to us as an e-mail, or we can interview you and record your memories for posterity, again please contact us by e-mail.
