Worst ever bus fire ?

As I said in the post Frank (junior) died several years ago. I do know that Frank, who was a hoarder of anything that no-one else wanted, had a very extensive collection of his fathers photos. They were of very high quality and covered all aspects of Sheffield and Derbyshire in the 20's through to the 40's. Frank (senior) was obviously a professional photographer and seemed to concentrate on unusual and historic subjects. If you look up tunnels on Picture Sheffield, you will find a couple of Frank (senior)'s photo's of the Hartshead Tunnel. Frank (junior) lived at Greenhill and was survived by his widow and a daughter that lived in the West country. I sincerely hope that his photos survive and that they could be placed in the Sheffield Archives.

In the bomb photos he showed me there must have been thousands of bombs and I seem to remember he told me that they were arranged along country roads in the Wirksworth area. They must have been placed there when the danger from the Luftwaffe was non existent because one enemy bomb among them would have moved Derbyshire to Shropshire.
