Subject: Bradford C. T. 591 (HNU 830)
Chassis: AEC 661T
Body: East Lancs H35/28R
Location: Bradford, Church Bank
Date: c.1962

591 glides up Church Bank in a way that only trolleybuses could do. Extension work is taking place at Bradford Cathedral, this extension would be finally completed in 1965. The architect was Edward Maufe, also the architect of Guildford Cathedral. Although London-based he had roots in Bradford as his father was Henry Muff (the family changed the name in 1909), one of the owners of the Brown Muff store on Market Street which eventually became a House of Fraser store trading under the Rackham's name.

591 had originally been Notts & Derby 337 with a Weymann body, it entered service with its new body in January 1958 and was the first of the batch withdrawn, right at the end of 1964.
