Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 2 Jan 1968
Not greatly different 40 years on https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1566517 – the trees have grown and the road layout has been adjusted to include a mini-roundabout. The bus is Newport Corporation no.56, a Leyland Titan with bodywork by the small Bristol-based firm Longwell Green, whose 'trademark' was the distinctive curve to the canopy over the driver's cab. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
