The Corporation Bus was a reliable and re-assuring part of life in Britain's provincial towns and cities, which seemed in many ways to be a permanent fixture. Now all are gone, swept away in the early 1980s by a tide of Thatcherisation. A few, like this excellent example from Ipswich, were preserved and appear occasionally to remind us what a nice place England used to be.
