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

Handyrider in Wolverhampton

In a way it's not such a bad thing that enthusiasts are excluded from bus garages and often made to feel unwelcome to photograph in busy bus stations as there are far more interesting places to take pictures. As you can see out there are not only still the sort of soot coloured churches that might excite L.S.Lowry even the sun shines occasionally in Wolverhampton where still in Rossendale Transport livery a former Handyrider Dennis Dart climbs up into the city centre. As it has a Birmingham registration I think this must be an early Carlyle body as opposed the earliest forty that were Duple Dartline's.
