Re: Peel Street

Hi, forgot his name for this minute, but its a Preston artist. Think they are about £32. Notice the old Hollands Pie van also in the painting?

Re: Peel Street

It's superb Atarah,

I'd like one myself...but all the walls are full of paintings, prints and old photos of Accy!!

I particularly like the fact that it's raining (or has been), makes it more realistic....for Accy.

Peel Street, rainy day

Yep, raining then, and its raining now!

Just realised, the guy has a website. Maybe he's not as local as I thought, but I was originally told he was a Preston artist, but .. his telephone code says differently!!!!

Take a look

He comes from Eastwood in Notts. I love the pic. Don't recognise the bright blue bus in the background though. What company was that?

I notice on the side of the bus an advert for 'Startips', they still make that.

Startips and Stardrops. My mother used to use the latter. I thought it smelled awful.

Re: Peel Street

Oooh, the old red and blue Accy Corporation buses, the paler blue was Rossendale (I think) The clock on legs, where I always met my friends. We used to laugh at people pretending they hadn't been 'stood up' under the clock on legs..

Re: Peel Street

That Preston bus looks very much like it. I don't remember seeing that colour of bus on Accy bus station back then so maybe they were rare. I thought the Rossendale ones were the same colour as they are now.

Re: Peel Street

I am pretty sure that it is a Haslingden Corporation Transport bus. Haslingden and Rawtenstall amalgamated in 1968 to form Rossendale Joint Transport Committee, but Haslingden,s pale blue and cream buses were used for some time after the amalgamation.
