Not too well up with the Bury area but I notice a building in the corner of the third pic looks like it might be a converted water tower kinda thing.

Thank you sire! ;)

Sold it to an operator in Bristol, who put it back to work on a tourist service in that city.
It was a firm favourite amongst the staff there, and the proprietor said (quote):

i bought this bus off Byron, ... i tested the bus back to full class 6 psv, it was used regularly with my then company at Bristol.
The new [present] owner has basicaly kept my livery (green & cream) but added a lime green around the windows
This was a cracking little bus and a real credit to byron.
