Wigan Album

That photo is lovely. Thank you for posting it.

Great picture...is there any chance of a higher bitrate scan? Be better still!

Bring back the Cherry and White...
I was just thinking that us Wiganners must have travelled lots of miles on these very same buses.

I wonder if the colour is copyright as it's a most unusal shade.Lovely memories.

This photograph was scanned from a 35mm slide. They came from a guy who took photographs of trains and buses in and around Wigan in the 1960's and 70's. A friend has scanned this one as his scanner will scan slides and negatives. However, I've just bought a slide and negative scanner on Ebay, so when it arrives, I will be scanning a lot more Watch This Space<g>

Thanks, Ron. I know how tricky it is to scan from slides even with a proper device. I look forward to more pictures!

There appears to be some debate over whether there has ever been any cherry and white buses in Wigan.
