Super Prestige 14 Stockport Corporation

Stockport's smart red and cream buses and trams were a familiar sight in and around the town, and in Manchester and elsewhere. Earlier trolleybuses were but a distant memory when the trams finished in 1951, and its fleet of open platform double-deckers included the last such vehicle placed in service in this country. Harry Postlethwaite's profusely illustrated text brings the story to life, with input from local specialist Cliff Marsh. Also includes tickets, maps and preserved vehicles together with a feature on Mersey Square - before it became a shopping centre and buses still reigned supreme.
