Nearly 50 years later https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1182929 very little had changed apart from the removal of the trolleybus wiring. This view as taken on the final day of operation of trolleybuses on the Bolton Road service. The wiring on Dudley Hill Road and Killinghall Road was by this time only used for workings to and from Thornbury depot, to which trolleybus 795 is making its way. It is one of 8 BUT vehicles with East Lancs bodies built for St Helens Corporation in 1951 and bought by Bradford in 1959. They were the last second hand vehicles with original bodywork to operate in Bradford, all others having either been withdrawn or fitted with new bodies. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
