TIME stood still in Dewsbury (and what's new in that you may ask?) when the Yorkshire Bus Company's 45-year-old brass band made a long-playing record of regional tunes entitled National Tour in the town hall. To avoid any interference with the performance the town hall clock was stopped for the day.
A bell from one of Dewsbury's long-forgotten trams was used in a novel arrangement of The Trolley Song by E. H. Griffiths, who as director of music keeps the band on the rails.
