I was going to visit a club open day this morning, but the weather was so nasty I just lost interest.  I’ve got some Norfolk pictures from the Dawes Brothers to come, but today is mostly photos.  I recently joined a Facebook page of 50’s and 60’s road transport, as it kept coming up with some excellent shots that were also helpful for the modeller.

Two from the Midlands.  The second, rather more modern, Selly Oak scene would make a good model.

I can remember real petrol stations like this, where the attendant would fill the tank and kick your tyres.  I can even remember the location!

Port Talbot in 1955.  A rough old place, but some interesting buses on show?

Back to London.  Holloway Road in the 1950’s, Sloane Square in a snowy 1973, and the magnificent Stockwell Bus Garage – one of the largest span concrete roofs around when it was built.

Huddersfield Town football ground in 1961.  An interesting prototype?  And people don’t park cars like that any more!

Even Crawley looked good in 1962…

For the modeller (nuff said….)

And to end with a little light (and well needed) relief…
