Virginia Road, New Brighton ? 1966
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 23 Apr 1966
This was and remains the main bus terminus in New Brighton, one block back from the Marine Promenade. Behind the bus is the New Palace Amusement Park, built in 1939 in Art Deco style as an indoor amusement park. The bus is a Wallasey Corporation Leyland PD2 with Metro-Cammell bodywork, built in 1951. The body style was essentially the builder's pre-war design and looked quite antiquated even in 1966. 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
