Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

A Merseyside Ribble Leyland PD3 nearing the end
Even though they did not have the subtle charms of the earlier Burlingham built generation true Ribble fans would not find anything wrong with the looks of these full-fronted MCW bodied Leyland PD3's like No.1789 dating from 1962 but hardly looking it's age.
Where (in Liverpool?) was this taken?

I was going to add that it was taken at Litherland but someone would be bound to come along and tell me I'm wrong. It was certainly in that area. The trouble is I used to have a camera with me when I was driving and I'd jump out anywhere if I could to get something this nice so they don't always have much sense of place but I can usually remember!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of 1789 is on Stanley Road in Bootle, outside the Strand Shopping Precinct.
