Gordon Stevenson will be recalling his father’s 37 years with the company in this illustrated talk on Southdown memories.
Julie Covey, museum assistant, said: "Our current in-house display is focused on Southdown Buses, which had a large depot in Littlehampton back in the day. Employing many staff, before driver-operated fare collectors, there was a driver, conductor and, of course, the dreaded inspector.
"Rustington Museum is proud to showcase many artefacts relating to this special time and company, hopefully evoking many happy memories."
