Description: | Undated
During World War Two the firm of Charles H. Roe Ltd, at Cross Gates Carriage works in Manston Lane, converted chassis of hundreds of private cars to ambulances. This car was a Vauxhall 20 of around 1935 vintage. The rear portion of the body has been removed and replaced with a simple body incorporating a canvas rear cover. These fleets of ambulances were used by local authorities to transport air raid casualties. Private cars were very often donated by their owners for conversion to ambulances. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Manston Lane Ambulance Second World War Charles H.
