Very interesting. The number of Ford Anglia cars and vans is remarkable compared to the number of Fords on today's footage. Also the BR Scammell Mechanical Horse. Very good.

The Bus conductor seen running across the road between traffic looked like Joe Walcott who used to be a driver out of Sovereign St.in the mid 70's

Oh, it's archive footage. Given the current state of the YEP (see seperate thread), I thought it was travel news.......

I saw an Austin 1100 there, and that puts it to around 1972.

I remember reading somewhere or, someone telling me, that when they were cleaning the Queens in the 70's 2 women walked past and asked one of the workmen why they were painting it white? They were so used to seeing it black.
