This coach was built at Wolverton in 1877 and originally seated thirty people in two separate salons. In use until 1902 between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog, it was later returned to Wolverton and sold in 1910. In 1912 it was sold again, and from that date was used as a chicken-feed store until purchase by the Society in 1975. The coach interior has long since been stripped of internal fittings, and the only original part which remained was the internal partition which once divided the two compartments. It was in use at Quainton for several years as a temporary shop, however it was found to be very badly infested with dry rot. After extensive survey, the regretful decision to destroy the body had to be taken, for the sake of the rest of the collection. |
