More general colourisation.
Sometimes, trawaling through archives, you come across photos of bus interest, but which also contain more general transport and local history. This one of a corner of Newcastle under Lyme (Staffordshire) was from part of the salvaged PMT archive and would have been taken to show the new inner ring-road which took the A34 out of the town centre in the 1960s.
Whilst I'm reasonably confident about getting the liveries of the PMT and Crosville buses correct, I have to own up to choosing best guess colours for the cars and van pictured. Just about everything bar the church and the road itself has changed in the intervening years.
The Crosville single decker is an ECW bodied Bristol MW, whilst the PMT Willowbrook bodied saloon appears to be one of the unloved Albion Aberdonians.
