Cott
A pair of EYMS double-deckers roll up King Street towards the Cottingham Green stop. Heading the parade is then-new 670 (YY52LCK), a Volvo B7TL with low-height Plaxton President bodywork. The bus moved to MP Travel, North West England after sale by EYMS.
The Millennial Clock was a new feature in this once-familiar spot when I was a Cottingham resident between 1969-72. In the best East Riding tradition, we skipped using the last two syllables, simply calling the place “Cott”, as per Brid, Bev, Driff and Pock.
Behind, the well-known Hull grocers Wm. Jackson & Son was still family-owned. Sainsbury’s took them over shortly afterwards. The stores were for a while rebranded as Sainsbury’s at Jackson’s, before the local identity was finally eliminated.
