The Lion is still a functioning inn, and dates back to the 17th century. Theobald's Coaches of Long Melford provided this bus service between Sudbury and Haverhill. LDL626 is a Bedford SB with Duple coach-style body, new to Isle of Wight operator Southern Vectis in 1955. It was typical practice for small operators to use older coach-type vehicles on low frequency bus services when they were no longer suitable for quality coaching use. 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
