Rochdale Corporation AEC Regent V at College Road/Holland Street - Nov 1965

November 1965 – What appears to be one of the NDK registered batch of Weymann bodied AEC Regent V buses bought by Rochdale Corporation in 1956 seen on a route diversion of service 11A turning from College Road into Holland Street. At this time major alterations were taking place in St. Mary’s Gate area with the construction of the new market, shopping centre and inner ring road taking the buses away from their established route. The former cricket ground on Dane Street is visible on the left beyond the power station. The River Roch, running along the back of Mitchell Hey Mill, is above the bus engine.
