THE FORMER premises of a fleet of coaches in Marton came back to life in memory of its founder.
The memorial event for Harry Aston, who ran a fleet of coaches from the village in the 50s and 60s, featured displays of classic vehicles, vintage bus rides, Morris dancers, charity stalls and more at various locations around the village, including Marton Garage, the Essence of India car park, Marton Playing Fields and Marton Museum of Bygones.
Harry founded Aston’s Coaches in 1949 at the petrol station in Marton, formerly known as Bridge Garage Marton. It closed in 1970, two years after his death.
All money raised on the day goes towards Give Kids The World Village, a non-profit holiday resort in Florida which provide free holidays for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
