Was your dad Bernard Keogh?
Yes it is the same....The firm was taken over by Robinsons.
Arthur and Cecil Bolton were the owners of Ribblesdale.
Fred Kirkham had Kirkhams Coaches at the bottom of West End.
I think they still operate but now in Haslingden by Fred's son Geoff.
Fred was killed in a traffic accident on his way back from the Motor Show.
Albert Benson had Eagle Coaches in Ossy and sold out to Frasers who were then at Antley.
