Royston Crow

5 Variants

Royston is situated on the borders of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire and its history dates back to Roman times. At one time the hooded crow (corvus comix) was so common in the district that it became known as the Royston Crow. Cromwell's Roundheads derided the inhabitants after a brawl with local Cavalier sympathisers and called them "Crows" and the name has remained. The local newspaper, The Herts. & Cambs. Reporter, is known locally as the Royston Crow. We released a Model A 5 years ago (A013G) and this Bedford is a further release this time for its 150th anniversary.
