Crossroads, South Bank â 1971

Middlesbrough Road at Normanby Road. Today, this bit of Middlesbrough Road effectively no longer exists as a result of its replacement by the modern A66 Link . All the buildings on the right hand side have been demolished. On the left the double doors are the entrance to the local Post Office and Savings Bank, built into what had been the Workers' Institute. The view was taken on the last day of operation of trolleybuses on Teesside. Trolleybus T291 was one of 5 bought second-hand from Reading in 1969 to shore up the ageing fleet. It is a Sunbeam F4A with Burlingham bodywork, new in 1961. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link

Two Buses in High Street, Eston

Taken in July 1970, this photo shows two vehicles in the short lived livery of Teesside Municipal Transport, which existed from the 1st April 1968 to 31st March 1974. Previously, they were owned by the Tees-side Railless Traction Board and painted in the Board's dark green and cream livery. The front vehicle is 37 (FVN 37D) a Leyland Titan motorbus with Roe 61-seater bodywork working to North Ormesby via Grangetown, whilst the one behind it is a Sunbeam F4 trolleybus 4 (GAJ 14) with similar bodywork working on a private tour of the area's trolleybus system which closed nine months later in April 1971. The trolleybus overhead wiring seen in this photo was soon dismantled after that closure. Behind the two vehicles in High Street is the Eston Constitutional WMC with the clock fixed to it, whilst in the distance to the left of the photo is Eston Congregational Church.
