For seventy years, Duple was one of the two best-known names in coachbuilding in Britain. Formed in Hornsey, London, in 1919 before moving north to Blackpool, Duple grew to be one of the most popular suppliers of luxury coach bodies for the UK market. Decline in new vehicle sales in the late 1980s saw Duple’s fortunes start to fade and the company closed its doors for the final time in 1989. Covering a period of approximately ten years from 1972, this book gives an overview of the popular Dominant body range together with its high-floor counterpart, the Goldliner. With a brief description of each body type and 180 photographs, all in colour and with informative captions, it showcases Duple’s finest products in their operating heyday.
Howard Berry inherited his interest in road transport from his father. He has a real fondness for or the products of AEC, and for many years has been a Director and committee member of The AEC Society. Having written numerous articles on coach companies who operated AEC’s, he took the plunge and published his first book, a history or Roselyn Coaches of Cornwall in 2017. He has spent 30 years in the passenger transport industry and lives in rural North Shropshire.
