The Wheatsheaf, Loose Road, Maidstone ? 1967

Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 5 Mar 1967

Taken on the last day of trolleybus operation in Maidstone. The location is the junction between the two trolleybus routes to Park Wood (where the trolleybus is coming from) and Loose (to the right). The trolleybus is no.89, one of four purchased from the Hastings system when this closed in 1959. It is a Sunbeam W with Weymann bodywork, new in 1947. 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
