This is the second of the two PD2s Ken Shaw bought from what was, by then, Burnley and Pendle. This one (PCW 947) had been 247 in that fleet and had a Northern Counties body.

Both PD2s remained in the yard at Dobcross long after Ken Shaw had ceased as an operator and the site was otherwise used for caravans. This view from Ladcastle Road has what was left of Walk Mill as a backdrop (it was once a much larger, albeit not a lot grander) structure. In its latter days it had been occupied by Saddleworth Dyeing Co. Ltd., but is now demolished with the site being the approach to the new primary school in Dobcross, appropriately called Walkmill.
