The last journey of the day from Leeds ran as far as Oldham. Yorkshire Woollen's 26 was an Alexander TE-bodied Leyland Tiger and is seen on this journey on 10th August 1984 passing the entrance to Dunlop and Ranken, once a very well-known steel stockholder. The railway bridge in the background originally led to Farnley fireclay works but only served as a headshunt for the steel depot until the last train ran on 7th July 1989. It was demolished shortly afterwards. The whole area has since changed quite dramatically with landscaping and the redevelopment of the Dunlop and Ranken site for housing.
