Church Street, Hartlepool ? 1971
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 3 Apr 1971
Despite major redevelopment of Church Square and Church Street, this particular row of buildings has survived intact. The Devon was a bar, apparently in the basement, which appears to have had a less than salubrious reputation by the 1970s. The bus is Hartlepool Corporation 81, a Daimler CVG6 with Roe bodywork new in 1953, so already long in the tooth for a municipal bus. 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
