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

Hampson of Oswestry Bristol LH BNU 674G

Oswestry had a small Independent who operated a town service with a number of interesting vehicles over the years including this Bristol LH which had formerly been with Midland General.

I have a feeling that destination blind is the one it had in when purchased from Midland General (or perhaps it would have been Trent by the time it was sold; it looks like the Trent typeface).

Interesting that they've chosen to use the letter H (for Hampsons, I presume) at the start of the service number, no doubt to make it clear that it wasn't a Crosville bus, all their services in the area being in the D series. I think Crosville used H for Birkenhead. Or was it Runcorn/Widnes?

Yes Ross the locals would look at the H and think Hampson. Crosville used H in Liverpool and Warrington and F for Birkenhead.
