Former trolleybus turning circle, Dudley

This small square, at the junction of Priory Street (foreground) and Stone Street (extreme left), was once a large turning circle for Wolverhampton Corporation trolleybuses on route 8B (later 58). Arriving from Wolverhampton along Priory Street, they turned right into Stone Street (past the public weighbridge on the corner), then right into the turning circle, turning left back onto Priory Street to return home. This was Wolverhampton's last trolleybus route; motorbuses continued to terminate here from when they took over in 1967 until the route (by then numbered 558) was extended to the new Dudley bus station in 1986.
