Burslem Fire engines
Something a little different for this evening, harking back to the colourisations I developed a liking for prior to having 30-40,000 negatives to scan!
Regrettably I have no idea who took the original of this photo which appears from time to time on local Stoke on Trent Facebook pages. It depicts three of The City of Stoke on Trent's finest fire engines which were probably based at Burslem fire station (just visible above the leading Dennis) and was more than likely a professionally taken a 'publicity' image. The location is Hamil Road and Port Vale Football Club's new ground is on the right here. The town of Burslem is in the middle distance. I opted to just colour the fire engines themselves as most of the Potteries was black and varying shades of grey in the 1960s!
