Aboard the Black Cat
The last few passengers board the 1630 Black Cat journey to Ilkeston via West Hallam on Derwent Street - the current terminus of this service following the closure of the bus station. Most are returning from a Saturday afternoon shopping excursion to Derby city centre.
The 'Black Cat' is one of Trentbarton's branded bus routes where names have replaced conventional route numbers. The full service runs between Derby and Mansfield, but is operated jointly with Felix of Stanley as far as Ilkeston; this is in fact a Felix bus. The Felix name was presumably the inspiration for the Black Cat brand.

Derby Council House
This is now the ceremonial entrance to the Council House. Since the huge redevelopment of it, the main entrance is to be found on the right hand side of the building, just out of shot.

Halt says the policeman
This cast concrete plaque is on the wall of the Old Magistrates Court next to Exeter Bridge. It is one of several such plaques, all of which are equally interesting.

Derby: Canada geese and the Council House
The Council House is on the left and Exeter Bridge in the centre. The country's highest-ever temperatures had been recorded three days before (37.8C in Derby), but this was the second successive rainy morning and the temperature was almost twenty degrees lower.
