Former Trolleybus Terminus in Dudley
Image: © David Hillas Taken: 2 Jun 2018
Taken from Priory Street, this photo shows the former terminus in Stone Street for the trolleybus route 58 which ran from Wolverhampton to Dudley via Sedgley until its final day of operation on Sunday 5th March 1967. The current route 1 now runs to the bus station in Dudley, then goes along Priory Street after which it follows the ex trolleybus route to Wolverhampton. The same route then goes on to Tettenhall Wood via the former trolleybus route 1 which ran from Wolverhampton to Tettenhall until that closed on Sunday 30th June 1963. It is to be hoped that electric buses may sometime in the future make a comeback on the present route 1, but without the overhead wiring. The heavy-duty bus shelters have since been taken out and replaced by The Old Glass House Restaurant, their being a glasshouse in this market place until 1886. It was demolished and replaced by fish and vegetable markets. The old Fire Station can be seen to the right of the photo.
