Southdown at Amberley 2

The independent transport videos cameras have returned to the excellent Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre in West Sussex for a second time. Our previous visit was in 2015 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the formation of Southdown. This time it was to attend the 'Amberley Bus Riders Day' event that took place on Sunday 23rd April 2017. The Museum is set in a disused chalk pit and has developed over the years to create a bygone era, with buildings, long lost crafts, a small railway, a fire station, country garage and of course a Southdown bus garage from the 1930s. All this gives a lovely backdrop to our film as we see the buses running in service just as they would have done in days gone by. Apart from the many locations chosen for our film around the museum grounds we take some rides on the buses to get even more atmosphere and to see how bus design has changed and developed over the years.
