Crosville Memories
On this page of the website we have cherished memories from former Crosville staff, their families and friends. These memories gravitate around Crosville Motor Services and the un-sung heroes that made the company what it was, as we pay our respects to them. We also include memories of CRG/ERG163 in this context. My grateful and sincere thanks to all that have collaborated with me and contributed to this page so far. More articles will be published over time.
Richard Lloyd Jones
Richard sets the scene for this page of the website. Its aim is to remember the Crosville company and staff as well as CRG163 and other vehicles from this fleet class. It pays homage and respect to valued staff behind the company which include the late Bob ‘Moelfre’ Roberts, Jack Cowap, John ‘Llanrug’ Wyn Griffiths and many more across the company’s operating territory. My grateful and sincere thanks to everyone who’s collaborated with me and contributed to this wonderful page down memory lane. It has been a personal privilege. Sadly our dear friend Dave Wilder passed away on 27 September 2023. We therefore remember Dave as a friend and for his valuable contribution below. (Amended 06.01.24).
