<title>Local Bus Books by Colin Martin (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm pretty sure I saw Roy Bevan sitting outside the depot (no longer there?) in Soudley in the late 80's., enjoying the sunshine. Apparently he liked doing that. He was pointed out to me by some kind person. It's such a long time ago, my memories are a bit vague now. I don't remember any buses but there were vehicles there. </p>

<title>Local Bus Books by Colin Martin (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just to thank Slowhands for highlighting these superb books by Colin Martin, anyone with an interest in recent C20th Dean history should look them up in the libraries. They give a great insight into these small family firms, Bevans along with the likes of Cottrells, Willetts, Grindles &amp; Edwards(my dad's firm), all played a key role in helping Foresters get about for work, school and play in the years between the decline of the railways and mass ownership of private cars. This was particularly important during the War years when dozens of buses day &amp; night were ferrying ex-miners &amp; their kin to and from the armaments factories near Gloster &amp; Bristol, as well as doing equally important work closer to home. <br />
An example my dad mentioned was in the early 60s Lydbrook AFC were very successfull including an FA Cup run, he said in those days (before TV and live Premiership matches), it wasn't unusual for Edwards' to carry 500+ fans to away matches !!. <br />
I have a fondness for Bevans' &amp; their attractive maroon livery as most of my childhood was spent cycling around that side of the Forest. But my best memory was driving back to Cinderford from college in South Wales for the Christmas break about 1981, we left early Friday afternoon as heavy snowfall was forecast. The minor Forest roads were especially difficult around Blackpool Brook for this inexperienced driver, the low light and heavy snow both falling &amp; settled meant you couldnt make out the road from the verge so I stuck to the middle tracks !. My passenger jokingly said all we need now is a Bevans' bus to meet us around the next bend, and sure enough one did !!&quot;. <br />
Thankfully the driver was a good carefull one and we both safely saw the funny side. <br />
Within less than an hour of parking up in Cinderford my car was under! a snowdrift that lasted for weeks, this was the first day of the heaviest snowfall I've ever seen &amp; I think the heaviest since the early 60s, it was so bad the local Miners Hall pub ran out of beer !!!.<br />
I am certain that just a few years later dad attended Roy Bevan's funeral, as indeed did representatives of Bevans' et al when he passed away in 1992.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the memories !</p>

<p><em>Hello readers,<br />
 Has anyone any knowledge of the Bevan family of the<br />
 Soudley area of the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire? My grandmother Virginia<br />
 Byett was formerly a Bevan, and I believe her family ran a 'bus service in<br />
 the area.<br />
 <br />
After her marriage to my grandfather, Thomas Byett, they lived for many<br />
 years in Buckshaft Lane, Ruspidge.<br />
 <br />
My quest for information is to assist me with a family history which I am<br />
 presently working on. Any help would be much appreciated.<br />

<em><br />
<strong>Soudley Valley Coaches.</strong> Colin Martin. <br />
Independent Buses and Coaches of Bristol and Gloucestershire. Colin Martin and Geoff Bruce.<br />
Colin Martin, 4 Willcox Drive, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, GL52 9PW </em></p>
<p><em>&quot;Soudley Valley volume is an excellent record of one of the Forest of Dean's independent bus operators. <br />
The business started in earnest in 1928 by brothers Fred and Roy Bevan with the acquisition of a 14-seater <br />
Chevrolet used on a daily service between Blakeney, Soudley and Cinderford. The fleet soon grew and at its <br />
peak twenty-five coaches were being operated. The business survived until 1998...&quot;</em></p>
<p><em>&quot;The second volume is an overview of bus and coach operation throughout the county of Gloucestershire <br />
from the horse bus up to the 1950s, hence the sub-title of 'From Horses to Half-Cabs'. The volume is mostly <br />
photographic with extended captions giving details of both the vehicle illustrated and the operator.&quot;</em></p>
