Friends of Cleethorpes Heritage seek help to solve trolleybus badge mystery

DOES this badge belong to a former Grimsby trolleybus driver?

The Friends of Cleethorpes Heritage are working with the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft to identify where the badge came from.

The museum is the holder of Cleethorpes' last ever trolleybus and contacted FCH to see if they could find out the badge's origin.

The Grimsby trolleybus system served Grimsby from October 3, 1926, before gradually being replaced by the Grimsby District Light Railway, a tramway that served Cleethorpes too. It closed on June 4, 1960.

The owner of the badge has been told it is a Grimsby Transport trolleybus driver's badge but this has not been confirmed officially.

Now they have turned to the Grimsby Telegraph and our readers for help.

Chairman of the Trolleybus Museum, Graham Bilbé, said: "Unfortunately we have no information about these badges and it has no clear marking on it.

"There are several possibilities. It may be from Grimsby trolleybuses, Cleethorpes trolleybuses, or the joint undertaking. It could be from Grimsby-Immingham Tramway or it might be something else altogether!"

If you can identify the badge, email newsdesk@grimsbytelegraph.co.uk or call our team on 01472 372236.
