It is with very great sadness that the news of Tonys passing on 9th January 2022 was received.
Tony was Boltons Moor Lane Bus Station point Inspector for many years before going in the Inspectors and allocators office at Crook Street Depot.
Everything ran like a Singer sewing machine when Tony was in charge, and he had a wicked sense of humour and an infectious laugh to match. He would do anything for his staff and they would always return the favours when asked.
He was a large part of many peoples lives, those who worked on the buses and the passengers he served.
A keen railway and bus enthusiast, he is seen here on one of the Depots many transport outings to all over the country, following a Leopard to the Dinting Railway Centre in this case.
God bless Tony.

Para mim é acho que para muitos que usam o flickr como um meio de mostrar o seus stencil , ele foi uma grande pessoa sempre elogiando e dando dicas a todos .
Não tenho mais o que falar só tenho a agradecer (mesmo nem o conhecendo ) pela sua arte e por todos as conversar e trocas de experiencia pela net .
Fique bem meu amigo aonde voce estiver _ eu sei que vai estar bem , e eu estarei rezando para que sua familia tenha força nesta hora tão dificil .
OBS .Esses dois trabalhos a cima foi uma troca que nós fizemos a algum tempo atrás .

For me it is I think for many who use flickr as a means of showing your stencil, it was a great person always praising and giving tips to everyone.
I have more to say I am very grateful (even knowing neither) for its art and all the talk and exchange experience on the net.
Stay well my friend where you are _ I know you'll be fine, and I'll be praying that his family has strength at this difficult time.
OBS. These two works to the top was an exchange that we made some time ago.
Tony by Ben Smith, oil on board.
Ben Smith's subject is artist Tony Albert, whose work engages with Aboriginal and Australian history. Albert is best known for his work re-appropriating kitsch depictions of Aboriginal people, which he calls "Aboriginalia". In 2012, he created a series called "We can be heroes" in response to the police shooting of two Indigenous teenagers.
The painting shows Tony leaning towards the viewer with a quiet strength and defiance. However there is also a sadness and warmth in his eyes. At the first glance, the yellow circle behind his head looks like a halo. This refers to his very difficult and important work examining our past and its impact on today. However, it is also a reference to the sun on the Aboriginal Indigenous flag, and a subtle target, Ben Smith.
