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

Dennis Javalin: Lewis Coaches


The Dennis Javelin was an upmarket lightweight coach chassis pitched at Independents who had formerly been able to buy cheap and cheerful Bedford and Fords. But this vehicle could be found with some larger companies too like Brighton Corporation who had a coach operation called Lewis Coaches based on that the county town of Sussex. One of the delights of a day in London is that one sees the more unusual mixed in with the more normal red buses and no doubt I was pleased catching this Duple bodied coach slowly passing through the traffic lights of Victoria.
