Infant Street, Accrington ? 1971
Although taken with the bus as the main subject, the view is of interest for the inscription on the tall building in the background. This reads “God says: do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee”. The building is shown on older OS maps as 'Hall' and was presumably a Temperance hall. The quotation, from Leviticus, is clearly aimed at total abstinence from alcohol, although the text actually continues “when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation”, which clearly indicates a more limited abstinence than total. Also of interest is the inscription on the Accrington Provident Co-operative Society building, since demolished.
The bus is Accrington Corporation 26, a Bristol RE with East Lancs bodywork, new in 1968. Rhyddings Street is in neighbouring Oswaldtwistle.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Very little changed for the last 40-50 years as far as I can see - except the people of course.
