British Trolleybuses - Wolverhampton
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 22 May 1966
By the time I visited Wolverhampton's trolleybus system, it was reduced to the long route 58 to Dudley. This view is noted as taken on Dudley Road. Modern aerial views have not enabled the location to be confirmed - there is no sign of a building now to match the chapel in the background - but I was reasonably sure that I had it correct, with the street to the right of the trolleybus being Johnson Street. Roger Kidd's up-to-date image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/568941 shows the same location some 40 years later.
