Glad you find it of interest Blakey. I thought you would. Click the links for the full size photo, you should get a magnifying glass to zoom right in then. I put you and the other bus fans a special close up of Torre Road too.

The building nearly on top of the short tunnel here is marked on the maps as a schoolhttp://tinyurl.com/oqb7wd7The smaller building next to it was a Methodist chapel, both situated on Danby Walk.I can't find any info about them. Can any of the older readers remember what it was called please?

This fascinating thread was started by Phill at 14.50.44 on the 3rd of October. As I post, on the 5th October, it has had 1378 hits. I wonder if this is a record for a SL thread

That's no worries Leo, you should see what I get called on facebook Thanks for the link, I had come across that photo whilst looking early. I found it a little vague to be honest. It left a lot to interpretation. I'm looking at a lot of things at the moment, and updating the photo descriptions. So I thought rather than spend an age working out one thing. I thought it just as easy to ask on the off chance if anyone recalled from memory.Cheers
