Hindle Wakes

(1952, Leslie Dwyer, Lisa Daniely)

There are several versions of this tale of a factory holiday in Blackpool (during 'Wakes Week'). This one has a nice view of a sightseeing trip on an open top Blackpool tram:

There's also footage of the Great Orme railway in Llandudno:

The standout sequence for the bus enthusiast, though, shows Ribble 709 (BRN858), a then new Leyland Tiger PS1/Burlingham picking up passengers bound for the fictional mill town of Hindle:
