Wigan's Market Square has since been developed and no longer presents an open aspect as seen here, with the former O & C Rushton warehouse, later the Civic Buildings, still surviving but with a busy thoroughfare in front of them (New Market Street).
ABU 358 was Oldham 140 and its English Electric body was rebuilt by Salmesbury Engineering in May 1949 - the most obvious sign of the rebuilding being the ventilators, which were originally of the half-drop type. It was sold to Progress Motors in Chorley in November 1955, having passed through Bird's of Stratford-on-Avon.
