Sunday 25 September 2016 – A view at the western end of Barton House, the old Barton Transport head office. The painted street name sign hints towards the proposal for a major development of the site and the building of a sustainable community which will be known as the Barton Quarter.

Sunday 25 September 2016 – A view looking out towards the main road (High Road) from the door of the former Barton Transport garage entrance at Chilwell. Barton House, the head office building, is that above the traffic cone.The coach inside the building on the right was new to Barton as their 648 (E648 DAU), a Plaxton Paramount bodied DAF new in April 1988. It carries the livery of Copelands Tours of Stoke-on-Trent (with the addition of the original Barton fleet number).

Sunday 25 September 2016 – A side view of Barton House, High Road, Chilwell. The property stands along the roadside in front of what was the garage site of Barton Transport. The registration number on the Land Rover Discovery seems to indicate some connection with the Barton family. Note the different mail boxes on the wall suggesting the building is home to a number of businesses, perhaps tenants. That on the extreme right carries the names of ‘Bartons PLC’ and ‘Barton Transport Ltd’.

The Barton Fleet Review celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Barton Transport, Thomas Henry Barton, OBE. It also coincides with the announcement of a major development of the former Barton headquarters and garage at Chilwell. Plans are in place to redevelop the site and build a sustainable community which will be known as the Barton Quarter. It is thought that the gathering at Chilwell would be the last time that Barton vehicles would be seen in their original home. Following the Review at Chilwell a cavalcade of vehicles made the trip to Donington Park to participate at the Showbus Rally.
