Each one is unique, they are often forgotten, sometimes abused, but no one can deny the importance and appeal of the great British bus stop.

I am working on a project which will culminate in the publishing of a book called "Top of the Stops", featuring the best 100 British bus stops.

I would encourage any readers to forward their digital pictures and brief descriptions of their favourite bus stops to the email address below.

Every photo used will earn the sender a free copy of the book and a chance to

share in £200 of prize money.

Further details and some bus stop pictures can be seen at www.topofthestops.co.uk.
