This is one of the vehicles entered in the Emergency Vehicles Class at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.
It's a 1940 City of Salford Leyland Merryweather Fire Engine and the programme of the event had this note about it:
Leyland Merryweather Fire Engine, 1940
Entered by Greater Manchester Transport Society
Built to replace an appliance destroyed in the blitz. It is unusual for a Leyland fire engine to have a Merryweather ladder but the normal Leyland supplier, Metz were a German firm who were undertaking other work at the time.
