Stockton Street, Hartlepool ? 1971
The shop proclaims 'Shop at Binns', and perhaps the most unusual feature of the picture is that the bus does not carry the same slogan on the front above the destination. The slogan was almost ubiquitous on double-deck buses throughout the north east. Binns was a chain of large department stores based in Sunderland but which then spread across the north east and later further afield. Following takeover by House of Fraser in 1953, stores from other taken-over companies were often given the Binns name. The name ceased to be used after 2006 when the ownership of House of Fraser changed. In the distance is the tower of the Co-operative department store https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4011351 .
The bus is Hartlepool Corporation 28, a Leyland PD2 with Roe bodywork new in 1965. It was the last double deck bus to be purchased by the corporation.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
