Bus in the background outside the Old Engine, think it was the terminus for the 621?

Have you seen the size of the trees now on the left of the picture.

Can't pretend the bagpipes are my favourite musical instrument but having stood within feet of a marching Highland band I can vouch for the electrifying effect it can have, little wonder it encouraged people to follow them into battle, the sound stirs the blood.
I used to live on this corner, across from the Legion. It's a long march to Orrell Rugby ground
