Mayor of Blackpool. Bill Rosteren Ciff Unsworth junior & Me. Looks like I forgot to pack the iron. But I did get chance to drive the vehicle back to depot at Wigan. This would be the first time I drove a PSV on British roads. I would have been 21 at the time. To drive back from Blackpool with so many experienced coach drivers on board was very daunting but a great unforgetable experience.

It was originally Sharrocks Coaches in little lane. Yes we did help one another out with parts etc. & inter-hiring. I think Clarks took the Garage facilities in little Lane over in the mid 70's. (1976 I think) The Coach business and been amalgamated With Eleanor House Motor Coach divsion in St.Helens before that.
