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

119: A Maidstone & District 'Relief'

Maidstone &District's first five 36ft AEC Reliance Willowbrook buses S1-5 could usually be found much nearer to home around the town of Tonbridge just south of Tunbridge Wells, but S3 by then in early 1969 renumbered 3703 was pictured passing Brighton's Lewis Road ornate Victorian depot wearing a typically unhelpful destination much displayed by Southdown too when providing additional service buses on busy routes. For many of us this style of bodywork which was the standard for the BET Group in 1962 is something of a favourite.
