Accy Buses............
I know that some people like me, share memories of Accrington Corporation Transport, and for the younger members Hyndburn Transport. I bought these on eBay and thought that those of you who are interested would like to see them. Enjoy.

They were the smartest buses in the country.

Sad they went.

Nice shots, Doug. I must've missed those, as usually I bid on any Accy bus pics that appear on ebay. Great shot of the old DDS&S club. I enjoyed many a pint in there, even though I've never taken the Queen's Shilling!

Oooh yes, Woods. They sort of had two shops one in Union St and one on Blackburn Rd but they interconnected. One was more fancy goods and the other was more tobacconist.

Just seeing those fairly recent pictures reminds me of how I think Accrington has gone downhill.
