Details: Recollections of James Croft in 1921 - I recollect the old trestle bridge. We boys used to wait for the arrival of the mail coach from Maitland, driven by Old Stilsby. He used to have a bugle and when near the Lake road would start to blow, and all the kids (50 or 60 of us) would turn out. Sometimes the coach would get stuck in the sand and the passengers would get out, and we boys, planted behind the trestles would given them a coaled occupation

Details: Mr. Henry Thomas Bellamy, the surviving cab proprietor of West Maitland, died suddenly at his residence, Victoria street, West Maitland, yesterday morning, while he was in the act of feeding his horse preparatory to his entering on his daily work. He was a son of the late Mr. Thomas Bellamy, who for many years was keeper of livery stables and proprietor of cabs in West Maitland. He was unmarried, a native of Maitland, and was 54 years of age. He had spent the whole of his life in the district. The death of Mr. Bellamy removes the last link with the old cab system in West Maitland. The first cab was introduced into the town by the late Mr. Walter Taylor, and his nephew, Mr. Charles Taylor, of Banfield-street, was the first person to drive that cab. At the time he was only a lad, but he did his work to the satisfaction of his uncle. Mr. Walter Taylor had livery stables in Smythe s Lane, nearly opposite Dimmock s, Ltd., and he succeeded a man named Onions, who had carried on the stables for some years. Later Mr. Taylor had his stables across the road on a site now occupied by the eastern part of the store of Dimmocks, Ltd., and he was followed by Mr. Tobias Miller, Mr. Thomas Bellamy, and finally by Mr. Thomas Judge. Mr. Walter Taylor introduced the first large bus to Maitland, and that was followed by a two-decked bus. For many years up to the eighties small buses, with accommodation for about eight persons, were run by Michael Hamer, John Levette, and Frederick Jones. Hamer s bus was known as The Shamrock, and Jones s as The Invincible. In the forties and fifties there was another old busman in Maitland, named Stilsby and the lane on the west side of the Imperial Hotel was known for many years as Stilbsys Lane, from the fact that his livery stables were located at the end of that lane. Those stables were after wards held by the late Mr. W. C. Mark well, by Mr. Martin Kingsley, and in more recent years by Mr. Alexander Niddrie. It may be of interest to note that the first taxi-car was driven in West Mail land by Mr. Fred Bulte, of Regent-street West Maitland, in April, 1913.
