Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1353125 Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort on the south coast of East Sussex, some 54 miles south of London and about 19 miles east of Brighton. Although there is evidence of settlement from the Stone Age onwards, Eastbourne remained an area of small rural settlements until the railway arrived in 1849. A resort, built "for gentlemen by gentlemen", was planned and the town's growth accelerated from a population of less than 4,000 in 1851 to nearly 35,000 by 1891. Tourism is a large and important part of the economy of the town.

Eastbourne Corporation claims to have been the first municipality world-wide to operate motor buses, commencing in 1903. The town never had a local system of electric trams. The bus is a Leyland PD2A with East Lancs body, built 1966, to a distinctive local specification with large top deck windows and drop-down sections for added ventilation. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
