Fingland’s 722 (ONF 665R) in Central Manchester – 14 Jul 1992 (167-27)

Fingland’s 722 (ONF 665R) in Central Manchester – 14 Jul 1992 (167-27)
Tuesday 14 July 1992 – Fingland’s was an old established Manchester based coach operator founded in 1907 and after bus deregulation expanded into bus service operation. The business was owned by East Yorkshire Motor Services from 1992 to 2013.

Northern Counties bodied Leyland Atlantean AN68/1R 722 (ONF 665R) had been new to Greater Manchester PTE in August 1976 as their 7665 and was seen entering Market Street from Piccadilly in central Manchester.

It was being followed by an East Lancs bodied Dennis Dominator operated by Ralph Bullock of Cheadle, another family coach business that expanded to operate bus services in post deregulated times. In 2013 East Yorkshire sold the Fingland’s coaching business to Bullock’s.

As far as I am aware there have been no structural changes to the row of buildings in the background Rosa.

The colourful building stands on the corner of Tib Street and Piccadilly and using Google Streetview I see it is now a branch of Starbucks (1-3 Piccadilly). Even though that image is dated April 2019 I suspect it will still be Starbucks but it isn't as colourful now.

This is a link to a Streetview scene at roughly the same spot as my photograph:
