Route 11 was one of a number of routes linking Wallasey and Birkenhead operated jointly by the two municipal transport departments. No.41 is a Leyland PD2 with Metro-Cammell bodywork, built in 1951. This was essentially a pre-war design of bodywork and was looking very old-fashioned by this time. A feature of the view is the absence of traffic on what was and still is a major road, even allowing for the fact that the picture was taken on a Sunday. The building on the right is part of the old Birkenhead General Hospital, demolished in the 1980s when the new Arrowe Park Hospital was developed.
