Luton Corporation UNM149
Metro Cammell bodied Leyland PD2 UNM 149 was one of a number of similar vehicles acquired by Luton Corporation in the second half of the 1950's and gave good service to the undertaking, passing along with a number of it's stablemates to United Counties in January 1970. It is seen here parked up in Bute Street, Luton alongside 'The Engine' PH which is the only thing in this view that survives now - the warehouses behind having been demolished in the early 1970's as part of the Arndale Centre construction with Library Road having been built through the site to link Silver Street with Bridge Street. This shot can be dated fairly well by the presence of a MK1 Ford Escort in the shot; the model was first introduced in November 1967.
