A NUMBER Seven bus from Long Lee to Laycock squeezes through Braithwaite in the days before the opening of the by-pass in 1938.

At this, its narrowest point, the road measures nine feet across.

Such was its notoriety that when, shortly before the by-pass, members of the National Omnibus Society visited our local West Yorkshire Road Car Company, they asked to be shown this "unique route". A special bus was laid on to demonstrate.

This is another photograph from Kevin Seaton's collection.
