Birkenhead Transport bus 252 on Tollemache Road ? 1967
The driver would have his foot hard on the floor to tackle the steep section of Tollemache Road ahead (approx 1 in 10). This was my local bus service and usually the bus would have slowed down enough on the gradient to enable one to drop off at the end of my road rather than being carried another 100 yards or so to the official stop.
Behind the bus can be seen the rear of St Aidans Terrace, a fine classical terrace from a relatively early period of the development of the town (c.1850), Listed Grade II.
The bus is one of the wartime (1944) Guy Arab II buses which were given new Massey bodies in 1953 and would remain in service until 1969 after 25 years' service.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

A damaged benchmark
At this coordinate, there is supposed to be an OS benchmark, but it has been logged as destroyed. The logger makes the note "Wall shows signs of repair, and there is no trace of this mark." https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm106864. However, on closer inspection, one can make out the line and arrow on the pale stone diagonally up from the seedling in the lower right corner of the photo. The benchmark was originally 0.5 m above ground level. I suspect that the wall was partly demolished when it was repaired, and this stone found itself in a different position in the wall.
