There are contrasts between the mining areas of Yorkshire and the East Midlands and those of the Welsh valleys, between the agricultural lands of Holland and Kesteven and the sparsely inhabited mountains of Wales, the towns and cities of Lancashire and Yorkshire founded on the textile industries and the engineering and orchards of the West Midlands. The changes in bus operation which can result from the reorganisation of local government on April 1, 1974 make this photographic survey assembled by Malcolm Keeley, himself a busman, a valuable record of operation by municipal, company and independent undertakings during a period that saw the bus industry expand to its maximum size and then, as car ownership waxed, contract to its present but still vitally important dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 18x24cm, 132 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Allan","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (246)","offer_id":58429873291647,"sku":"9780711005167","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780711005167.jpg?v=1789415479","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/buses-in-camera-mercian-and-welsh-9780711005167","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
