Buses
- Pagefields were made by Walker Bros of Wigan, they were mining engineers.
- 1919 - 1920 a few buses were made on a lorry chassis.
- 1927 a low frame PSV chassis was produced it was very ahead of its time having a six-cylinder Dorman engine, four wheel internally-expanding drum brakes.
- The whole engine assembly could be detached and wheeled out, this was an idea later brought about by Morris-Commercial.
- Users of Pagefields were Grant's Saloon Services and Wigan Corporation who were local to the company.
