Wallasey Corporation bus 54 on Park Road East, Birkenhead ? 1966
Route 11 was one of a number of routes linking Wallasey and Birkenhead operated jointly by the two municipal transport departments. No.54 is a Leyland PD2 with Metro-Cammell bodywork, built in 1951. This was essentially a pre-war design of bodywork and was looking very old-fashioned by this time. Nevertheless, this particular bus lasted in service until 1972 when it was purchased for preservation. It now forms part of the Wirral Transport Museum collection http://www.mtps.co.uk/wallasey54.html .
To the right is St Matthews Church, which appears to have ceased to be a church from the 1970s and has been replaced with housing. It originated as a chapel of ease.
