1979 brochure

Three photos by R.Camp of Nelson from 1977, hired out of a temporary base at Braunston due to water shortages forcing the original site at Cosgrove to move.

The pictures show the original Black Prince colour scheme before the blue and yellow which came out around 1978 or 1979.

These are from Black Prince’s infancy, but the characteristic red curtains and white advertising stickers, along with the company emblem remained trademarks throughout the 80s.
