EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a 20-seat Daimler bus, adorned with the distinctive logo of Parish's Felix the Cat Bus Company, stands proudly ready to transport passengers between Doncaster, Edenthorpe, Hatfield, and Thorne (new village). The year is circa 1925, and the 1920s are in full swing. Despite the well-established competition on the route, Parish's venture was named after the popular cartoon character of the era, Felix the Cat. The bus, with its single deck and roomy interior, is a testament to the era's innovative transportation solutions. The driver, smartly dressed in his uniform, sits at the wheel, while a female conductress, or clippy, stands at the entrance, ready to collect fares and assist passengers. The milliners, general store, and cooperative shop in the background add to the quaint charm of the scene. The Felix the Cat Bus Company's garage was located on East Lane, Stainforth, and the buses were known for their reliability and popularity. The company's name, inspired by the famous cartoon character, added a touch of whimsy and excitement to the everyday journey. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the transport scene of the 1920s and the role that small, independent operators played in connecting communities.
