    I have decided to submit a batch of views from the King Alfred Running Day all were taken January 1st 2013.

    Here are some views of the Provincial Society’s Stokes Bay Rally which took place in August 2013. As is my normal pattern, I have generally avoided repeat views of vehicles I have on digital photo already. There were some vehicles in attendance which were FAR too modern for inclusion on this site. Pete Davies08/2013 First…

    Peter and I have been considering in recent months how best to deal with those strange beasts mentioned towards the back of the PSVC list of preserved buses. There is a section, among the miniatures, trams and others, of “Preserved Commercial Vehicles On PSV Chassis”. In the 2012 listing it begins on page 224. It…

    Here are some views taken at the Tram Sunday event in Fleetwood. It seems to be usual that there are many more cars, charity stalls and miscellaneous sales stands than there are trams and buses. There was an outbreak of common sense a few years ago, but the old ways seem to be slipping in…
