EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage lantern slide of a motor bus in Rawtenstall, Lancashire during the early 1900s. The image captures a moment from the past when public transportation was just beginning to evolve from horse-drawn carriages to motorized vehicles.
The bus, with its boxy shape and open windows, stands out against the backdrop of Victorian buildings and cobbled streets. Passengers can be seen boarding the bus, dressed in their period-appropriate attire, adding to the charm and nostalgia of this historical snapshot.
Rawtenstall, located in Rossendale, Lancashire, was one of many towns embracing modern technology at the turn of the century. The introduction of motor buses would have been a welcome change for residents looking for faster and more efficient ways to travel around town.
This print is not just a glimpse into transportation history but also a window into daily life in early 20th-century England. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of technological advancements while also highlighting the timeless appeal of vintage photography.
Add this unique piece from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection to your collection and transport yourself back to an era where motor buses were a symbol of progress and innovation.
