GM Buses North 5104 (SND 104X) in Dobcross – 12 Oct 1995 (291-07)

Thursday 12 October 1995 (approx. 1300) – GM Buses North 5104 (SND 104X), an MCW Metrobus new in August 1981, seen passing through The Square in the Pennine village of Dobcross. It carries a then quite new livery layout.

The monument in the square was erected in 1901 to commemorate Willian Henry Fox Ramsden, a well respected local physician who campaigned for better drinking water and living conditions in the area.

The square featured in the John Schlesinger film ‘Yanks’ starring Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Gere, William Devane, Lisa Eichhorn and Tony Melody filmed in 1978 and released the following year. I worked in Dobcross at the time and saw some of the filming.
