Am thinking Chapel Street ~ maybe Boots was on the corner of Tulketh Street? Take a look at the buildings in this old pic of Eastbank St/Chapel St corner.

The Boots shop on the corner is where the Bradford and Bingley BS is now.
The bus is turning off Chapel st onto Eastbank st.
Bus Reg no HFY 726 was new in July 1952.

Yes definately Chapel Street/Eastbank Street corner. A policeman would have been on point duty standing on a while wooden platform there. I used to 'conduct' on that bus when I was 18!

Can't get my head straight on this one - is the viewer looking up Chapel street toward the train station, or is it a view along Eastbank street toward Lord street?

Its looking up Chaple Street towrds the station which would be on the right........ The building at the rear of the bus looks very familiar but I can't place it.  Yeah same here Groovy, racking brains trying to place it At first i thought the building was above where Hewitts is on Eastbank Street.......the building behind the bus is where Primark is now just before BHS |
