So, it's time to leave Preston behind, heading west to Lower Penwortham, where Preston Bus No. 2 was found - a unique vehicle in the fleet.
Just to the south of Preston is Walton-le-Dale, where the Shawes Arms was located. A pretty decent boozer, it has since shut.
Bamber Bridge Motor Services once served Walton-le-Dale and that company's No. 6 was photographed there when newish.
Also, in 2004, a bus rally was held at Walton-le-Dale. Here are a couple of entrants.
We move on southwards, to Leyland, once home to Leyland Paints and Leyland Motors. First, though, the railway station, seen here in LNWR times.
A DMU calls at Leyland in June 1986.
Northern serves the station these days.
Pendolinos and freight pass through without stopping.
The town clock, one of the few reminders of the former lorry and bus manufacturer.
Right in the middle of Leyland is a micropub, the Market Ale House.
The town's Wetherspoons is a reminder of the buses made in the town.
Another micropub in Leyland, the Golden Tap.
In the 1998s, a regular vintage vehicle rally was held in Leyland. Here are three very appropriate entrants.
