Sorry I'm getting boring [What'dya mean 'getting'.....! - Ed ]Finding old photos then recycling them in what where.1968, and a number 56 bus I think. Road priority (but little else) has changed.

I know for sure, the school on the right should give some a clue its being in the news recently. The bus # for others.

I know too, and the view has hardly changed. The school has the same name as the pub opposite it.

Correct Chrism, but use to have a different name in the 60s.

If I'm correct it will be the first I've recognised since joining SL years ago, so please excuse the lack of cryptic clues. It looks like Royal Park Road (?)in Hyde Park, close to the Royal Park pub.

I've not been there for over 30 years so if you had shown a photo of the area as it is today I may not have recognised it. Jogon, once again apologises for not using cryptic clues but after all this time trying to guess 'what & wheres? I didn't want to miss out.

I have been in the shop many times. My uncle was Mr R H Williams who owned it. The bus in those days ran from the Bus Station to North Lane, actually the end of Cardigan Road, later to Queenswood Drive. I have posted a similar comment on the Leodis site.

Did the women running for the bus make it? Or did she get hit by the mini traveller turning right ?

He would have rung the bell and the bus would have been long gone! Unless it had been my on the platform ,I would have waited for her and assisted her on board!
