Accrington bus station ? 1973
This is before the bus station was moved and replaced by an extension to market hall itself. The people apparently walking along the roof of the Market Hall are in fact part of the sculptures above the main entrance on the south facade of the hall http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5915054 . It was built in 1868 and is Listed Grade II.
Bus 153, in the distinctive dark blue and red livery of Accrington Corporation, is a Guy Arab IV with East Lancs bodywork new in 1959. The 'Load of Mischief' on the destination blind does not refer to the passengers, but was a pub at Clayton-le-Moors.
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

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.
