Seen in Harrogate Road at the Gledhow Valley Road junction is Horsfield 185 working a trip from Moortown to Dewsbury Road. First entering service on 25th June 1931 and last running in service on 28th March 1959, it was burned at the yard of George Cohen & Son at Brown Lane, Holbeck on 26th June.
When new it had a three aperture destination display and full drop windows on the upper deck. Single blind displays and Pullman sliding windows were fitted on 16th May 1951 but, unlike some others which were fitted with electric bells at the same time as the other modifications, it retained its original pneumatic bells for communication between conductor and driver.
