BUS ROUTES OF DORCHESTER 1932

DORCHESTER 1932

This is a reproduction of a poster produced by the Dorchester and District Carriers Association,

showing their routes and times to and from the county town

1932 carriers timetable part one

1932 carriers timetable part two

As the poster gives details only of the times and routes of members of the Carriers Association, the only references to the

Bere Regis & District services are given under Bloxworth (Davis) and Winfrith (Toop) - but a little strangely the

village of Bere Regis itself is not listed ............

There are some errors in the poster: the services of Bale, shown as from Minterne, should be from Moreton. Also the

times given from intermediate villages on route (eg the times at Puddletown for House and Cutler) are the departure times

from the originating village, not the actual passing times at subsequent points.

For many years this poster hung in a frame on the office wall in the garage of A Pearce & Co. at Cattistock.

The times and details are more clearly shown in a tabulated document here.
