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

Dienolen Motors

Probably the most attractive bodywork to appear on the Leyland Tiger Cub in the Fifties was that of Saro (Saunders-Roe) and built not far from here in Bangor over the Menai Bridge on the island of Anglesea. They were supplied mainly to BET Group operators like Trent and East Midland, but as Ribble had the most with about fifty it's appropriate that one of theirs has been preserved. It's a shame this example wasn't also saved as it survived into the Eighties as can be witnessed in this view as it passes a more typical Crosville bus of this area the shorter Leyland NationalB SNL 660.
