Covered Bus Stop On Sale Canal Bridge.
A Memory of Sale.
Born, bred, lived and worked in Sale. 50 years b4 I moved to Scotland.
I seemed to be the only one, amongst my peers, to recall a scaffold-pole framed, covered bus stop situated on the wide pavement between the old coal merchant building, now a snack/ sandwich shop, and the row of shops leading down to School Road.
The bus stop actually spanned the canal bridge, had openings off the through pavement to allow passengers to queue for their bus. I recall maybe 3 or 4 such queuing areas, the requisite bus would align it's door with the opening on the kerbside.
The covered walkway was well used by many a pedestrian as shelter during the customary regular Sale downpours.
Searched for photographic evidence for years....checking out photos on this site, WOW, there it is, photo 22, zoom in and you can clearly see the structure.
Thank you, I am not mad!
Anyone got further photos of this bus stop?
Just interested, not a bus-spotter or anything like that!
