HERE is a wonderful photograph dating back to the 1950s which we found in the local archives.

The snap depicts a staff party at L.U.T. (Lancashire United Transport), in Atherton.

Archive records state the photograph was taken in 1950.

Lancashire United Transport (LUT) was a tram, bus and trolleybus operator based at Howe Bridge, Atherton,

It was the largest independent bus operator in the United Kingdom, until its acquisition by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive in 1976.
