This is a preserved former Arriva Dennis Dart with Plaxton Pointer bodywork in a late version of the livery of Maidstone & District, a company whose operations were eventually absorbed into the Arriva empire in 1998. Over 7000 Dart-Pointers were produced in various forms during the last decade of the C20 and the first of the C21 making the type one of the most prolific models ever to have been manufactured. The building on the right is the former Canvey & District (latterly Eastern National) bus depot which now houses the Castle Point Transport Museum on whose annual Open Day this picture was taken.
