Taken on the 3rd October 1970, this photo shows an ex-Birmingham City Transport Guy Arab IV motorbus and 874 (GFU 692) BUT 9611T trolleybus with Northern Coachbuilders 54-seater bodywork, at the Cavendish Road terminus of trolleybus route 33 from Walsall town centre. This extension from Stephenson Avenue was opened on the 2nd September 1963 and was the last such extension on the Walsall trolleybus system. However, it saw only seven years service as the trolleybus system closed on the 3rd October 1970. National Express West Midlands now operates routes 70/70A from this location to Walsall town centre. This turning circle is now occupied by the Magic Lantern public house.
