Oldham's second batch of East Lancs-bodied Atlanteans was actually bodied by their Sheffield subsidiary, Neepsend Coachworks. 5151 was one of this batch and has just crossed the bridge over the closed railway from Greenfield to Oldham at St. John's Street, Lees on 20th May 1978. The station, which closed in 1955, was just to the left here. High Street can be seen in the distance, the bus having turned off to head to the Stamford Road terminus. The small print on the lower sign at the right advertises the mill shop selling "household textiles". These mill shops were once a feature of the local landscape but have now disappeared with the loss of manufacturing capability.
