    I may have my directions slightly out but the picture below, would the chimney in the centre of the picture be about right??

    This is taken from the top of Grinfield Street!

    Home James used to have a 'showroom' or 'shop' opposite the Clock Tower in Wavertree. I've got a Video from a conversion of a Cine film from 1969 showing a Liverpool outing on one of these coaches, a lovely 6 wheeler jobbie too!

    Could be the chimney! There was also another block of flats neraby, which looked almost identical in design but one block had balconies, the other didn't.

    Well, thanks to this site and the wonderful people that we have met over the internet or personally, the draft book has been more or less finished.

    Is Alan out of hospital yet? I've sent him an e-mail and a new contract but had no response yet - hope all is ok?

    This is the link please to the new book index:

    http://home.btconnect.com/trans-pennine-pu/id91.html

    There you can see some thumbnails and also downloadable large-scale photos. There is one that aptly illustrates what happened after the blitz rubble had been cleared.

    If you would like to reserve a copy of the book when it is published, please use the form:

    I can guarentee this is going to be a fantastic book - and will be very quickly snapped up. I had the pleasure of meeting the MD of Transpennine Publishing at Sony along with his family to determine where locations were in and around Edge Hill.

    Due to build a website on the promotion, Alan sent me over 250 pictures on a DVD, each being about 4mb each. I have been trawling through these pictures and they are utterly amazing! Once I have the website up and running, I am planning to have a 'now and then' section of the the same photo in 2007 - some buildings are still surviving and seeing hundreds of tanks and trucks sitting along a main road in Liverpool is just eye popping!

    Is that the Pearsons that completed some buses for Liverpool transport on Weymann bodyframes around 1950?

    Default Bus bodies

    Yes they did! I have seen a copy of a COMMERCIAL MOTOR page around 1950 showing a bus just delivered to the Corporation. However I gather by 1951 the bodybuilding business had finished and the company became a coach business instead. although they must have still had a car dealership.

    Default PEARSONS BUS BODIES

    I'll try and dig a few Pearsons bus photos from our archives for you. Basically Lpool Corpy Transport used to purchase part completed body frames from Weymann or later Crossley and complete the coach work locally to keep the bus/tram works busy. Around 1949/50 they were getting a backlog so some were farmed out for completion to Pearsons , Blakes , and Aero & Engineering (Hooton Airfield)
    I've included a later photo (copyright from MPTE) showing an AEC Regent 5 with Crossley body framing awaiting finishing in Edge Lane Bus Works.

    When I get permission to show the Pictures I've got from the Pearsons forthcoming books, I'll attach about 20 pictures of buses that are very luxurious inscribed with 'Coachwork by Pearsons of Liverpool!
