Bus no.35 of Rossendale Transport approaching the terminal stand on St James Street. Rossendale Transport was formed by a merger of the Rawtenstall and Haslingden bus fleets. It is a Leyland PD3 with East Lancs bodywork, new in 1964. Accrington Corporation was also a partner in the long route between Bacup and Accrington which constituted the core route along the Rossendale valley, the far terminus of which can be seen here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6678643 . The location was little changed in 2011. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
