EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Roaring Pride of Wigan: The Liptrot Brothers' Leyland Tiger Bus in the 1940s" 2.. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of transportation history with the distinctive Leyland Tiger Bus operated by the Liptrot Brothers in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England during the 1940s. The image, taken in Lancashire, showcases the bus in its prime, adorned with the iconic Liptrot Brothers livery. The Leyland Tiger, a British bus manufactured by Leyland Motors between 1937 and 1954, was renowned for its powerful engine and robust design. This particular bus, operated by the Liptrot Brothers, stands as a testament to the era's transportation innovation and the family's entrepreneurial spirit. The photograph reveals the bus's imposing presence on the streets of Wigan, its Tiger emblem proudly displayed on the front grille. The vehicle's sleek lines, combined with the Liptrot Brothers' distinctive branding, make for a striking visual. The passengers, bundled up against the chill of the 1940s English weather, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. The Liptrot Brothers' Leyland Tiger Bus played a crucial role in connecting the communities of Wigan and the surrounding areas during a time when reliable transportation was essential. This photograph serves as a reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of public transportation and the indomitable spirit of the Liptrot Brothers. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of transportation history or local history, providing a unique insight into the daily life of Wigan during the 1940s.
