Bury Corporation 111 and 179 - a photo on Flickriver

These are two Leylands, and the bodywork on both were products of the MCW organisation, but they couldn't be more different, 111 on the left is a Leyland Atlantean with 'Liverpool' style Met-Cam body, while 179 on the right is a Leyland PD2 Titan with Weymann body of 1952.

Very similar buses to both of these now live in the collection of the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester. Bus number 116, identical to 111 on the left is in the collection; and bus number 177 in the museum is an AEC 'Regent' instead of a Leyland Titan but has very similar bodywork to 179 shown here.
