Standerwick Burlingham Seagull in Rochdale - circa 1965

Summer 1965 or 1966 – A Burlingham Seagull bodied Leyland Tiger Cub of W C Standerwick Ltd had just left the Yelloway coach station as it set out for Blackpool on the X79 service. It was paused at the end of Penn Street (later Ink Street) ready to turn into Smith Street. The buildings were subsequently demolished to provide more space for coach parking. Whilst a rather poor and now scratchy snapshot from my schooldays it appears that the coach is registered NFR 957 and if so was number 9 in the Standerwick fleet.
