With head bowed down, Eston Square - 1971
The picture was taken on the final day of operation in April 1971, and the pose of the soldier on the war memorial is suitably respectful of the occasion. The trolleybus is T289, one of the Sunbeam trolleybuses purchased from Reading when their system closed in 1969.

Tees-side trolleybus at Eston Square
A Sunbeam F4A trolleybus at Eston Square en-route to North Ormesby via Normanby and South Bank. The vehicle, which has Burlingham 68-seater bodywork, entered service with Reading Corporation Transport in 1961, then transferred to Teesside Municipal Transport in early 1969, after Reading closed its trolleybus system in November, 1968. However, it didn't see much service on Tees-side as its own trolleybus system closed in April, 1971.
