This is Sutton-in-Ashfield in September 1982; negotiating Portland Square is Trent Bristol RELL 362 on local route 142. New to Midland General as their 152 in 1971, it ran only until May 1984. The DVLA has it's colour as cream, which it wore as a Midland General vehicle when new! The 1976 Austin Allegro was even more short-lived, clocking up less than eight years before expiring.
Looming in the background is the Kwik Save store, which was unsurprisingly an old cinema, in this case the Portland, later Savoy, which showed it's last film in 1978. The whole lot was demolished in 1990. Oh, and I wish that I had photographed that Steetley Foden as well!
