York Pullman bus at Helperby – 1970 York Pullman was an independent small bus operator based in York which ran a number of rural routes around York. It was known for its high standard of maintenance with buses looking 'as new' even when 15 years old or more. No.87 is an AEC Swift with bodywork by Roe of Leeds; the choice of a rear-engined chassis was very unusual for a small operator, the majority of which would opt for simpler chassis types.

The Oak Tree reborn The Oak Tree pub in Helperby closed in 2009, and it appeared likely that it would not reopen. However, the pub has been bought, extended and refurbished and is about to reopen as an upmarket gastro pub with rooms. The left wing of the building is entirely new, but built in a vaguely traditional style.
