Formation of rocks on top of Derwent Edge - it all looks calm and not a bad afternoon but at the time this was taken, the wind up across the edge was blowing to gale force strength and had been all day. When we eventually got down to the bottom to the car park at Fairholmes, my face was bright red with wind burn!

This smart rare PD2 was new Fishwick's in 02/1958 and built to the lowbridge design with the off-side sunken gangway on the top-deck. These must've been really awkward to travel on upstairs, whereby the seats are on the left hand side capable of seating four passengers with a bit of a step up to the seats, and if you were hemmed in by the window or even the middle pair with not much headroom to boot! It is seen here at Blackpool Transport's Rigby Road Depot open-day, on 28/06/1998.
