The old Town Hall, Barking ? 1978
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 9 Sep 1978
Built in 1893 as Barking's Town Hall before the creation of the Grater London Council, it subsequently became magistrates courts https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3265650 . In 1978 East Street was still a major thoroughfare, but has since become entirely pedestrianised. This part of London was one of the last strongholds of the classic RT bus type, based at Barking Garage, to which RT3254 is heading. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
