Re: Accy Buses............
Do we know when the photographs were taken?
I'd guess about 1983, judging from the white stilettos the two Duranies are wearing at the bus station. |

Some of my strongest memories of Accrington come from association with the buses. I know what you mean Kate; one of the greatest smells was the mixture of wood and leather in the upper saloon of a Guy Arab. Other smells I remember was the diesel and burning exhausts emissions whilst waiting in the ranks. Great memories a sitting in the copper kettle and looking up at the clock wondering if I’d missed my dad for a free ride back up Fern Gore |
Re: Accy Buses............
Think they were taken at different times.The one outside the garage must be pre-74, because it's got the old Accy coat-of-arms on the side, I reckon the one on Union Street has too, although it's a bit more difficult to see. I'll go with your fashion & style expertise on the bus station one, though!

I always remember the 'No Spitting' sign upstairs at the front of the bus.
I always used to think the old ladies downstairs were allowed to spit.:D |
Re: Accy Buses............
The Guy Arab was late 60s or 1970. The union Street shot looks a little later. I have a B&W shot of my dad driving her sister ship No 19 coming down Dill Hill that dates to about 1968.
