East Lancashire Coachbuilders was first registered in October 1934 when two former Massey Bros of Wigan employees decided to set up their own company in Blackburn. Their names were George Danson and Alfred Alcock.

The majority of photographs in this book have been taken by the author, and are mostly previously unpublished.
