Specific Item Information: The coach company H V Burlingham was a British business based in Blackpool, established in 1928. A single trader, Herbert Victor Burlingham had seen an opening for luxury coach travel to the busy British seaside town and set about providing them. The company was highly successful and he sold out to two local businessmen in 1930. Burllngham traded until 1960 when it was taken over by London rivals Duple Motor Bodies Ltd who manufactured out of both Hendon and the original Burlingham premises in Blackpool. Production continued until 1969 when Duple went into liquidation.
Model Information: This tooling was launched by Oxford in 2018.
Road Name History:
Originally, the Stratford Blue bus company began operating under the Stratford-upon-Avon Blue Motor name on April 1, 1927. The routes for this bus service included town services, rural country routes and longer services as far as Birmingham and Oxford.

Stratford-upon-Avon (or Stratford) is a market town/parish in the Stratford-on-Avon District in Warwickshire, England (about 90 miles) north west London. It is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, 16th century poet and playwright.

The company ran for close to 45 years and ended operations in December 1970 after two years as a National Bus Company subsidiary. On January 1, 1971, it was absorbed into Midland Red, whose successor is Stagecoach Midlands.
