Grey-Green Coaches Looking from the Outside In
To the right is a very recognisable Grey-Green that depicts the company through the latter part of the 1970s and into the 1980s, a Duple Dominant Two, here with Leyland Leopard running gear, or on other occasions Bedford YMT coupled to the self-same body. outside of me when you're done and any changes will be saved.R
Normally, one associates the image on the left hand side as the signage from decades ago concerning one of the many stops that Grey-Green made, although not for one minute were many of these "planted" in every conceivable point that Grey-Green dropped and picked up. I have now concluded 101 pages for the finished edition. This comes as a A4 softbound binding, printed on high quality paper and wraparound cover. There are plenty of pictures along with corresponding text and draws on my observations from being a "neighbour" as well as a company that some of the time were in competition in work for many years although this seemed to contract in the latter stages of the 1980s.

Grey-Green Coaches Looking From the Outside In
My book does not go back to the beginning although it notes about the two previous MDs of Horseshoe Coaches and Grey-Green. The format is decidely from aspects that happened around the time of the 1950s onwards, noting a contrast between both these companies but more so Grey-Green because this is the main reason as to writing the book.
I have offered my opinion in why perhaps the company took their decisions in different paths as well as what may have happened had Cowie had not appeared, or alternatively they did but perhaps had the coach side had been sold on as a separate entity as it was formerly going to happen but did not.
As shown below, the image wraparound cover, the book finally completed. Very similar as to the Trathens, A4 in size, paperback, 101 pages, printed in full colour throughout other than obviously black and white images.
