Closure of the Neilston-based Henry Crawford Coaches family firm brought 50 years of service to an end when the proprietor retired in April. Henry Crawford had established the business by 1972, when a successful application was made to continue the express service between East Kilbride, West Mains and the Weir Pumps factory in Glasgow's Cathcart, previously provided by Southern Coaches, Barrhead. A further move into providing workers' services came three years later when it took over the Bridge of Weir-Bishopton Royal Ordnance Factory service of Edgar, Lochwinnoch. A more extensive move into this market took place in 1976 when the company applied to continue the routes that had been provided by Eagle Coaches, Neilston; they comprised four services from Neilston, Auchenback, Carnwadric and Cardonald to/from D&H Cohen's clothing factory in Pollokshaws, together with another one between Neilston and Hillington Industrial Estate. |
