#throwbackthursday:
Here's a ride, you certainly want to pass on... Many of the Hammer
films that Peter Cushing appeared in were Gothic fantasies, and set in
the era of horse drawn coaches, like this one! Hammer films, hired from
Mossman's, who supplied all their livery, coaches and horses. This is a
Station Omnibus which was built in London by the Aldebert Company in the
1800's. This type of vehicle was popular with hotel owner,s who would
use it to transport their guests between their hotel and stations....or to Castle DRACULA or the chateau MEINSTER! Not a destination you really want to reach!
THE SCREEN CAPS below feature this
coach in both Dracula (58) and The Brides of Dracula (60) George
Mossman, the owner of the Mossman company, often drove the coaches in
the films, being a trained horseman....but if you are waiting for a cab
or bus... and this one turns up...you might want to, 'wave it on'!
