Of the buildings in this view, only the one at the far end, with the round windows, survives. This was the showroom of the firm of George Bunyard & Co who ran the Royal Nurseries at Allington. The buildings on the right have been replaced by the Broadway Shopping Centre. The picture was taken on the last day of trolleybus operation in Maidstone, and shows no.68, one of the batch of Sunbeam W trolleybuses with Northern Coachbuilders bodywork, purchased new in 1946. 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
