This authentic colour photograph captures a remarkably tight squeeze on Crane Street in Cefn Mawr, near Wrexham, Wales, in 1969. The image provides a factual record of the challenges facing public transport in traditional Welsh villages, documenting a large green Bristol Lodekka bus (registered 148 YFM) destined for Llangollen as it carefully navigates the extremely narrow roadway. To the right, a red Brooke Bond Tea delivery van is parked against a brick building, while a green and white period van sits in the foreground. The bus conductor stands in the street, observing the bus as it passes between the tall brick and stone buildings. The scene highlights the dense urban fabric of the era, including a Coop shop on the left and various local retail storefronts. As a self-contained archival record, this shot serves as a valuable resource for transport historians and collectors of vintage Denbighshire and North Wales photography.
