This photo shows the offices at the front facing Wigan Lane , the workshops spread a long way back and had access from the side street where the finished buses were despatched from via large doors .

My dad, Graham Taberner, work here for many years before moving up to Enfield Street. He met my mum at the bus stop outside and the rest is history....
