Trolleybus approaching Thornton terminus â 1972

The large building on the left is the Albion woollen mill, now demolished and with open fields in its place. By contrast, the open land in the foreground, together with the area of tipping, has been transformed into a new housing estate. This view Link was taken from roughly where the trolleybus is passing, looking towards the camera.

The Raggalds Inn, Queensbury

The pub name was at one time changed to the Queen's Head SE0831 : The Queen's Head at Raggalds, Queensbury but the Raggalds Inn was its historic name and according to Whatpub.com (who date it to the 1860s or earlier) it is now The Raggalds again. Since this photo was taken in 1993, when it bore the name of the Vaux brewery, an extension has been erected on this side of the pub, probably connected through the door seen in this photo. Image cropped to remove the person who was posing for a photo (apart from his hand on the gatepost).
