Two buses in Market Street,1970s. Number 133. JJP 509. Can't make out the other one's number or Reg.

The building between the buses with the orange frontage wouldn't be Bluto's would it ?. Had many a good night in there ( don't remember it being that colour though :)

Yes it was BLUTO'S but if it was BLUTO's then I wouldn't know? I remember it being the UCP cafe in the 1950's. BEST PIES EVER no question.

I could be a thousand miles away Ron, but it could be GJP41.

That used to be one of our busses home too. The other bus stop was further down on the same side near what was the bank, opposite the market stalls and Cassinelli's. Nice photos Ron by the way :)

I remember that shop being the UCP in the 60s and early 70s, was in there one day when the lights went out in the miner's strike power cuts. It was Bluto's by around summer of 1975, remember going there then.
