As explained recently our buses have had a little rest - mainly due to
the large quantities of variants that we have released over the last few
years. The tools have had a little refurbishment. The London Transport
variations are the most popular and this bus is shown on the South
Croydon route 109 from the 1960’s. During this period Crown Wallpapers
were found advertising on a whole variety of mediums and buses were no
exception. The history of wallpaper is quite interesting and back in
1899 Wall Paper Manufacturers Ltd. was incorporated to merge the
manufacturing interests of 31 wallpaper undertakings. The newly formed
company included practically the whole of the United Kingdom wallpaper
manufacturing industry, and at that time its share of the trade was
about 98 per cent, so that competition was virtually eliminated. We’d be
interested if any of our members can let us know exactly when the crown
brand appeared and its origins.
