Their initial address was 130 Morley Street in the Cowley Hill area. Although the timetable claims it was operated by Nip-On (the Hattons name was only used later), the daytime service was actually a joint operation with Ogdens initially using 2 Alexander Bodied Leyland Leopards. Think it is fair to say that quite a lot has changed in the industry in that 35 years.

Hopes this helps some members with the history of the company. Apologies if this post is seen as bumping up this thread but I feel that a little bit of history needs to accompany such an anniversary.

That intresting never realised Nip-on and Hattons were same firm
