Sammy Leyland

ON 21 April 1963 I spent one of my few nights away from home whilst on a weekend tour of the Yorkshire area railway sheds with a Bristol Railway Touring club. The night was spent in central Leeds, and a short walk away from the hotel was one of the central area bus stations. The only Ledgard ( to be precise, the Executors of Samuel Ledgard) bus to be seen during the time I was there was MUA860, a 1949 Leyland bodied Leyland PD2/1, bought new by the company. How strange to think that the photograph may well taken using an external flash gun with disposable bulbs that crunched satisfyingly beneath one's shoes when used!
