Line up of North Manchester Motor Coaches vehicles circa 1950/1951

North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited photographic line up (photograper unknown)

Information taken from ‘The Yelloway Road’ by Judith and Peter Deegan. Based on the dates shown in the fleet list therein I have assumed that the two vehicles at the far right are LJ 8798 and TE 8291. By deduction the photograph was taken around 1950/1951 (KNE 674 was new in 1950 and FV 1071 left the fleet in 1951).
