Angular LH.
Admittedly not the best of pictures, all my results from this area of the country seem to have been taken on sub standard film and rather ineptly at that! However, I reckon that the subject matter makes this one worth an airing. It depicts a very late Bristol LH service bus, unusually bodied by East Lancs Coachbuilders of Blackburn rather than the almost universally fitted ECW. SND 550X was one of a pair (the other 551X) delivered to Rossendale Transport in 1982. The quirky, angular but not un-attractive bus (IMHO) stands in the bus station associated with the former Corporation bus garage in Rawtenstall. Only just over a dozen more LHs were produced before production ceased. An East Lancs bodied Leyland Leopard from the neighbouring Accrington based Hyndburn fleet can just be glimpsed through the bus shelter.
