1960's Royal Blue Coach Travel Poster by Ken Bromfield
About the Item
Original British 1960's coach panel poster promoting travel to every resort in the west of England. This poster would have been displayed in a UK travel bureau or in a bus or coach serving routes around the country.
Founded in Bournemouth by Thomas Elliott in 1880, Royal Blue involved itself with all manner of horse related businesses and expanded into motor coach operation in 1913. Its first express coach service to London began in 1919. Expansion was rapid with the forging of many alliances with other operators, and the company established a near monopoly on express coach services throughout South West England. Eventually, via the ownership of the Tilling Group, the company was absorbed into the National Bus Company and its immaculate and distinct blue and cream livery was abolished, its trading name allowed to lapse. Royal Blue promoted its services with a style seldom equalled by other operators as befitted a high quality coach operator with a wide range of popular holiday destinations.
This poster is in good condition with very slight discolouration along the edges - please see images. It is linen backed to allow ease of handling and framing or storage.
The poster will be sent rolled in a tube.

Could be placed in a clear frame hanging in an open area for viewing on both sides.
