DSCF5297 Barton House, the head office of Barton Transport in Chilwell - 25 Sep 2016

The Barton Fleet Review celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Barton Transport, Thomas Henry Barton, OBE.

It also coincides with the announcement of a major development of the former Barton headquarters and garage at Chilwell. Plans are in place to redevelop the site and build a sustainable community which will be known as the Barton Quarter.

It is thought that the gathering at Chilwell would be the last time that Barton vehicles would be seen in their original home.

Following the Review at Chilwell a cavalcade of vehicles made the trip to Donington Park to participate at the Showbus Rally.
