This photo, taken in April 1972, shows 189 (CRU 189C), a Bournemouth Corporation Transport Daimler Fleetline with Weymann 74-seater bodywork at the turntable in Church Street. The vehicle was one of ten with a convertible open top and named after a county, this one being SURREY. There is now no sign of this entrance as it has been built over, but the turntable still exists in a courtyard.
