A North Western Leyland bus travelling along South Parade on its way to Bonsall. Unfortunately the number plate is unreadable. North Western had a monopoly over the local routes, having taken them all over by mid 1933. The bus here is very similar to one owned by Hands, linked right, although seems to have slightly wider tyres. More buses of the same design can be seen in the 1935 photograph of the choir parade, also linked right.

Just above the two cars on the left is a shop sign on one of the Parade buildings. Frederick Bentley had a china shop and fancy repository there^[1] and his daughter designed knitting patterns^[2].

One the right is the area where the Boden's Restaurant building, later the glove factory, had stood before it was burned down in January 1929. It had been covered with tarmac by this time and was now part of the Pavilion car park. The Great Petrifying Well building, which escaped the fire, can be seen on the right of the lamp post.
