From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles H. Roe Ltd. was a Yorkshire coachbuilding company. It was formed in 1923, based at Crossgates Carriage Works, in Leeds.[1] Along with parent company Park Royal Vehicles, it became part of Associated Commercial Vehicles (ACV) in 1949, which was bought by Leyland Motors Ltd in 1962. The Charles H. Roe company closed in 1984. In the following year a group of employees from the former business, supported by Yorkshire Enterprise Ltd, began the Optare coachbuilding business in the former Roe carriage works.
