Panning has frozen the front end of 3296 and was necessary as only a very slow shutter speed could be used - it was darker than the photograph would indicate. This ex-Wigan PD2 is sweeping into the turning circle at Grotton on 20th January 1979. The destination blind shows "Mossley" but I suspect the driver was mid-way through changing it for the return journey. In the background James Shannon's grocers is closed and awaiting a new tenant.
