A view taken to complement Image complete with the same 'phone box! The route 10 at Ely was the last extension to the Cardiff Trolleybus system before a change of policy led to its run down in favour of diesel buses and eventual closure in 1970. If I remember correctly the 10A and 10B both ran to Ely but took opposite directions on a loop around the housing estate. I think this picture was taken only months before closure, but I'm open to correction. The original slide was very underexposed and it is only thanks to modern digital processing that it has been possible to recover this image.
