Outside the White Lion & Greyhound, Shade.
An early open top bus with external stairs at the rear to the upper deck and solid rubber tyres. Open top buses were not popular in winter and started to be replaced by covered top deck models from the mid-1920s.
This is a Habergham bus from the Burnley/Nelson area, which had come to the Greyhound public house to take a party to Blackpool. The journey we are told took about 4 hours. Information from Ken Lobley.

A double decker approaching Hungry Wood railway arch, Cornholme in 1934. The sign on the wall reads "Passengers much keep seated when passing this arch". Due to the limited headroom buses had to keep to the centre of the road when negotiating the arch. Shortly after this photograph the arch was taken down and replaced by an iron bridge.

The fleet of five buses of the Todmorden Motor Bus Committee and crews photographed on the lane leading to the electricity destructor, where the buses where garaged.
An Act of Parliament in 1906 allowed the Corporation to provide a bus service for the town. Four buses were ordered and on January 1st 1907, the first bus travelled along the Walsden Valley. In July 1908 it was decided to continue the bus service, but it was only in the 1920s that more routes were opened up, one route to Lumbutts, another to Oxenhope. In 1931 the service became a joint undertaking with L.M.S. Railway, and later, British Rail. In recent years (1993) it has become part of Yorkshire Rider Ltd.
