Liverpool Road Platt Bridge, May 1976. All the buildings in the background have long gone. St Nathaniels school, right, and the houses, left. The handsome Lancashire United bus is a Northern Counties bodied Guy Arab.

I was brought up in the detached bungalow behind the houses to the left. Brings back loads of memories this Tom. Great photo.

Nice one... I also used to go to that school, left in 1968 to go to 'Mozzy Lane'.

I can remember when one of those buses did not make the corner down by where MacD's is now and ended up in a garden, with its bonnet through the window. Sadly, I think lives were lost during that incident.
