MartinR Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Are you sure about the date on the second one? The sign to the left seems to say "Special Offer" "Terms"(?) and £12.50 which would mean it was after 15 February 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 1974 or later, as the bus passing in the background is in South Yorkshire PTE colours, the PTE only coming into existence in April of that year.

J Roddis Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I seem to remember in the 1950s there was an adjacent cafe- the Sunshine Cafe, serving vegetarian food, as I 'm sure I can remember going there as a little lad with my Mother en route from Pond Street bus station to the Wisewood bus stop on Campo Lane. Or am I thinking of somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
