Maidstone Corporation trolleybus at Loose
Taken in 1965 at the terminus at the top of Old Loose Hill. The Maidstone trolleybus system closed in April 1967 but motorbuses had started to appear on its two routes two years before. The vehicle seen here is one of five Sunbeam Ws built in 1943-44 but re-bodied by Roe in 1960. In this view it is about to leave for Barming (Bull Inn) on the other side of town. Although the houses in Loose Road are still there the 'Kings Arms' public house (whose sign can be seen here) is not.

British Trolleybuses - Maidstone
Maidstone was the smallest British trolleybus system to survive into the 60s. It was basically a single route from Barming in the west to Sutton Road in the south with a branch off the latter to Loose. This resulted in the splendid destination display to be seen in this picture.
This trolleybus is arriving at the Loose terminus which was a few hundred yards short of the old village itself, at the top of Old Loose Hill. The surroundings appear to be little changed, although the pub sign pole (at the left) no longer appears to be there.
