Looks Like Pratt globes on the petrol pumps - Think we saw before that Pratt in Ireland became Esso or were taken over by Esso. From Esso website As the motor car began to find favour in 1904, the Anglo-American Oil Company quickly moved into selling petrol and by 1910 was firmly established in Ireland. The motor fuel marketed at the time was called Pratts Perfection Spirit and was imported from America in a highly distinctive 2-gallon green can, complete with brass stopper. Following a number of name changes the Irish-American Oil Company changed its name to Esso in 1935 and then eventually to Esso Ireland Ltd in 1985.

The bus appears to be a Vulcan Emperor.

Logo on bus radiator could be Bristol? http://www.flickr.com/photos/brizzlebornandbred/2050011887/

Not one but two dogs, that must be a record:-)

Scratch Bristol [http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]] Vulcan is Correct - but Duchess - rather than emperor - see www.gracesguide.co.uk/File:Im20100829Sh-Vu-EC8852.jpg

No Mention of a Duchess - emperor noted as a double decker. Possibly Brisbane - but photo of Duchess is a very close match? Amongst the buses twenty seater buses were sold from 1922 on the two-ton chassis. A 6.6 L Vulcan-engined 32-seat Brisbane came in 1928 and the Emperor double decker in 1930. In 1931, the company went into receivership but the receiver managed to keep production going until 1937, when the remains of the company was sold to Tilling-Stevens of Maidstone, Kent. Tilling-Stevens was taken over by the Rootes Group in 1950 and a new 7 tonner appeared at that year's Commercial Motor Show in London. Rootes had their own established commercial makers in Commer and Karrier and both Vulcan and Tilling-Stevens vanished finally in 1953.

Mazda was a trademarked name registered by General Electric in 1909 for incandescent light bulbs. The name was used from 1909 through 1945 in the United States by General Electric and Westinghouse. Mazda brand light bulbs were made for decades after 1945 outside the USA.

This definitely wasn't taken in January 1931, as there's a snippet in the Anglo-Celt from Saturday, 17 January 1931 saying:

yeah, looks like a "VU" on the radiator. From 1930, production was solely of trucks and buses which had been made seriously since 1922. Many of the trucks were aimed at the municipal market and road sweepers and refuse trucks sold well. Amongst the buses twenty seater buses were sold from 1922 on the two-ton chassis. A 6.6 L Vulcan-engined 32-seat Brisbane came in 1928 and the Emperor double decker in 1930. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_%28motor_vehicles%29 So late 1920's early 30's. That looks like about a twenty seat bus.

Kinda looks like this one, so probably close to 1930... transpressnz.blogspot.ca/2012/11/vulcan-bus-at-leigh-engl...

The vehicle is a Vulcan Duke built with Vulcan 20 seat bus bodywork which was one of a batch of five - IB 4078, 4082, 4222, 4405/6 delivered new to Nugents Bus Service of Keady, Co. Armagh in 1929. The badge on the radiator grille clearly shows a "k" as in "Duke" so it isn't one of the larger Vulcan Duchesses - of which there were two - IB 4404 and IB 4689 - registered in the north (there were two more Duchesses registered in the south - BI 1871 and 1872. The Duchesses had larger 26 seat bodies. Nugents also operated two larger Vulcan VWBL 31 seaters - TE 2039 and GD 5184 and a third larger 31 seat Vulcan CD 3158. All of these vehicles would pass to the Great Northern Railway of Ireland in 1931 with 11 entering service (all except CD 3158) with IB 4404, IB 4689, TE 2039, GD 5184 passing to the Northern Ireland Road Transport Board in 1935. Nugents were an early example of a cross border operation which became embroiled in the politics with vehicles registered in North and South and falling foul of political masters in two different countries. The company would later reappear as an independent operator once more but had ceased again by 1992.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] Quite right AZ - Belfast so the car is well away from home. Maybe a commercial traveller. IY - Louth and BI - Monaghan so they are a bit nearer. Carrickmacross was the farthest placed contract I ever worked on. It was Rye Valley Foods.

Lovely to see a tradesman at work. In this case a plasterer applying a scratch coat.

Many years later a takeover of the Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway in the early 1980's by Ulsterbus was blocked when the powers that be at Stormont said that as a government owned bus company, Ulsterbus could not be seen to be providing bus services in "another sovereign state". Those involved at Ulsterbus stated that the company already did in County Monaghan and on the routes which Nugents had run many years before. A fact that the Northern Ireland Office were unaware of obviously! The take over never happened!
