Thank you wiganer I did not know what it was called, I remember going visiting Grandad on the trolly bus we got on at Platt Bridge, do you remember them.

Yes I remember the trolley buses, they ran from Atherton to
St Helens you would have to get of at Hindley and get on a
59 bus or a 38 bus to Bolton or Manchester and get of at
Peter St which was on the opposite side of the road to the
petrol station.
