Killinghall Road at Leeds Old Road ? 1971
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 30 Jun 1971
The distinctive mock-tudor roadhouse pub, Ye Barrack Tavern, has like many such establishments, become an Asian restaurant. The picture was taken on the final day of trolleybus operation on the Bolton Road group of services. By this time the wiring on Killinghall Road was only used by vehicles making their way to and from Thornbury depot. Trolleybus 723 is one of 20 Karrier W vehicles new in 1946 and rebodied by East Lancs in 1958-59. 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
