Looks like the bus stop sign is in someones garden.
I find it hard to take in that this photo is over 20yrs old, great pic.

Bus stop sign is in the gap between the two rows of houses
lower grounders still stand next to the gable end of the house to shelter from the wind while waiting for the next bus

This pic was when the community centre was over the way, where the new school is now. I lived on this road at 241 from 1977 to 1985 aged 13 then. Great community spirit around there then x great friends great memories
