When the trolleybus was king
This 1954 view is from the archives of the Hull Daily Mail, published in a recent Flashback supplement, kindly forwarded by an old school friend. The scene is the eastern end of George Street, as traffic waits for a vessel to pass beneath the North Bridge. In addition to the fascinating Co-op mobile butcher's, a pair of KHCT trolleybuses tag on behind an EYMS Leyland PD1 with Roe Beverley Bar bodywork. The nearer of the trolleybuses is a Cravens-bodied Crossley of 1938, with the FRH-registered vehicle is a Leyland TB7 with East Lancs bodywork. What a shame that not a single Hull trolleybus was saved for posterity.
