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

I'm not sure if I like the current bright Bennett's purple more than this former more subtle two-tone brown. In truth neither is likely to go on my favourite list. In the old days though Bennett of Cotes Heath had a habit of buying unusual coaches like this early Eighties Wright of Ballymena Contour bodied Bedford seen in Stafford. It was a type that never went into production and instead Wright made a name for themselves building distinctive looking quality service buses.
