Gosling's of Mareham-Le-Fen near Boston, Lincs.
If you lived in the Boston (Lincs) area, and were looking for luxury coaches to hire, then perhaps Gosling's of Mareham-Le-Fen, would have been worth giving a call (Telephone Mareham-Le-Fen 284 or 285). This unused letterhead must date to the mid/late 1950's, and features an illustration of a Gosling luxury coach - quite possibly a Bedford SB with Plaxton bodywork.

Tours were on offer "to all parts of the country", and proprietors T.H. Gosling & Son were proud of the latest mod-cons in their coaches - radios and heaters were standard fitment in their vehicles. This well-established firm was founded in 1922, but despite their longevity I've yet to find any information on the company or its vehicles. Does anyone remember this coach operator?

More interesting old items of motoring paperwork can be found in the Motoring Collectables section. A leaflet given out by T.H. Gosling describing Castrol range of oils and other lubricants, may be found on this page.
