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

Unfamiliarity Breeds Contempt


Even amongst bus enthusiasts what is interesting and what is not is a subjective thing. I'm sure it can only be an oversight but when Ian Allan published a book featuring a large selection of Independent UK Operators in 1986 not only did they omit the fascinating Berresford's Motors of Cheddleton with it's vast array of important secondhand vehicles they missed out the Potteries altogether.
