Walsall bus No. 825 - AEC Bridgemaster

I happened to get some old bus photos when purchasing a trolleybus one, they are all small snapshot type photos at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are in individual paper wallets with the bus details, location, etc., written on the outside. Unfortunately there is no photographer name but they obviously took great pride in their bus photography.

A version hand colourised by me is here:-

This one is of Walsall Corporation Transport (WCT) AEC Bridgemaster, fleet No. 825, registration YDH225, chassis no MB3RA001, showing '5 - Hednesford' destination blinds, and photographed at Walsall bus station on 29-7-1958. It was one of just four pre-production Bridgemasters built by AEC and bodied by Crossley seating L41/31R (later bodies were by Park Royal). It was shown at the 1956 Commercial Motor Show, Earls Court, and went into service with WCT in November of the same year.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
