BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Walking Home

This is called Bridge Foot in Warrington where traffic from the South enters the town via a bridge across the wide River Mersey. As a girl makes her way home on a Saturday Afternoon one of the town's Network-Warrington Wright bodied VDL single-deckers waits for the lights to change as it approaches the town centre. Once the Mersey was the boundry between the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire but following the reorganisation in 1974 the very Lancashire town of Warrington became firmly in Cheshire. I do quite like Warrington but part of it is because my Grandfather who was a businessman made a lot of his money here as a maltster and from the brewing industry.
