I have several of these which belonged to my Grandmother
It actually took about 40 minutes just to find my way out of the barn sale. When I eventually did, I somehow ended up with a washing machine and a picture of Lonnie Donegan.

In the early 1970s, the newly-formed Selnec PTE were on the lookout for a standardised double decker. By standardised, I mean a bus with panels which could be interchangeable when it came to making good accident damage and the same electrical system.
In 1972, about the same time that the first production line bus, the Leyland National was making its debut (the first one going to Selnec) the first Standards made their appearance on the streets of Greater Manchester. The first lot were Leyland Atlantean AN68s with 75-seat Park Royal bodies and representing the next lot of the Mark 1 Standards were buses like this - a Daimler Fleetline with the same bodywork but arriving in 1973.
By the time this bus was withdrawn, it would have been based up at Bolton and, unlike one of its older sisters, this one is preserved by the SELNEC Preservation Society.
Whereas the older and more established Greater Manchester Transport Society (of which I used to be a member and later subscriber) preserves front- and rear-engined buses from the pre-Selnec, Selnec/GMT and post-GMT eras, this society mainly preserves the rear-engined variety and let's face it, this bus has got more character than the breadbins (which are its successors) getting the public from A to B today.
Helped Dad clear out the end of the kitchen today, in time for the builders to start work replacing the leaky roof tomorrow. It came out pretty easily in the end, but it did take a while.
This bus (also a Nelson bus - I think that Widnes Corporation specified buses with only one opening window at the front of the upper deck) is slightly newer than Widnes 31, being built in 1964 (the year when the Fab Four were having a hard day's night). Not only that, but there was a livery change by then and I think this may even have fluorescent lighting inside too. I know one thing, this bus is a sight better looking than the breadbins on wheels that Halton operate nowadays.
Trying to see if it's the same as the one used in Spectrums.
Alas, there doesn't seem to be any identifying markings.

Today I found out that yyellowbird added me as a contact. I thought I was going to hyperventilate. I love her photos so much. :D
well I don't think there's any chance of mold growing on them otherwise anyway, since it's all clay! -feeble joke. :/

In December 1958, when Hoots Mon was in the charts, this bus would've been taking to the roads - it's the very first production Leyland Atlantean and, except for London (where the first rear engined single decker took to the roads for the first time nineteen years earlier, even though it was really a coach) this would have raised many an eyebrow.
As for this particular bus, Wallasey 1, well, I'm guessing she last turned a wheel in revenue-earning service in 1973 and my ex-supervisor Vic Drennan (who probably rode on one of her sister buses) likened the engine noise to that of a vacuum cleaner.
I know one thing, this old girl has more character than today's double-decked (and single-decked) breadbins.
opening and closing the miniature roll-top breadbox, is one of my favourite past times, hahaha.

This particular Polaroid 600 camera was a revision of the earlier models that used integral 600 film. It had a round top and resembled a breadbin when closed. The flash is enclosed by a semi-circle of translucent plastic (as opposed to the earlier rectangles). A velcro hand grip is usually present on the user’s left hand side. All models have close-up adaptor.

Shouts out to my breadbins - Manik, JD, Shye, Cause, Urge, Doze, Keen, Reakt n Mr & Mrs Boast.
the idea of this is good but so much space is lost in how it contracts. The video inspiration page has better concepts of retractability

Works train about to set out from Stonehenge Works, on the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway, to rebuild the level crossing on Marley's Bank. Autumn 1972.
The train consists of 40hp Simplex "Breadbin", WD D class wagon, Cunis wagon, British Ropes bogie flat and some skips. Andy Muir is standing in the loco's cab doorway. Out in Miletree Road in the Ford Escort was Dick Coles and in the A40 Steve Burbrough.
we got a sidetable from bram's grandma years ago, and for a few months we've been using it as extra storage in our kitchen. i noticed it was getting cluttered, so we wanted something with more space.
thank goodness for ikea!
now i have a spot to show off my pots, the breadbin we got for our marriage, and my little stovetop espresso maker.

Today the local green grocer had purple sprouting broccoli, one of my favourite seasonal vegetables. Tomorrow I'll eat it with hollandaise sauce.
