Chesterfield 56, Church Way, 1980

            Chesterfield 56, a Metro-Cammell bodied Leyland Panther had started life with Liverpool Corporation in December 1968. The 47-seater bus had been numbered 1083 in the LCT fleet. 1083 was acquired by Chesterfield Transport from Merseyside PTE in 1977 and renumbered 56. 

The Leyland 'Panther' had not enjoyed a great deal of commercial success in Britain, but Chesterfield built up a fleet of about forty of the type. Enduring their mechanical short comings, many of these buses had been acquired secondhand, a number of them coming from MPTE in the 1970s.

56 is pictured descending Chesterfield's Church Way, en route to the Broomfield housing estate. Stood next to the Crooked Spire Church (St Mary and All Saints), Ye Olde Crooked Spire pub still stands today, but has been renamed the The Rectory in recent years.
