Now, I like this picture, for lots of different reasons.
It was taken just a few months before I was born, out along Bury Old Road.
One day I will go looking for the firm Cornall of Bury, but for now I am content to study the old-fashioned lorry and the three men staring back at me.
Flat caps, overalls and long coats were the order of the day, over the sleek corporate uniforms supplied to transport workers today.
And the rest as they say is for you to discover, leaving me just to point to the bucket of water at the rear of the lorry on the pavement.
Location; Bury Old Road
