Woolfie Hills
Gorseinon Crossroads.
All sorts under the shadow of the West End pub when I passed there earlier on.The bar in the West End was open and a regular is sitting otside,either having a fag or enjoying the weather(or both!).South Wales Transport Optare Solo YJ55 BGO is one of the batch bought off the Council.Now in fleet livery,ex-Lliw Link,it's about to turn right for its run to Morriston on service 141.
Another Smart car.This one's got quite a special job as it's one of several used by Village Homecare,a company who provide home helps for elderly and disabled people to help them live in the community.Two old ladies,probably having been to Sainsburys have a friendly chat on the way to meet their bus whilst the old bike probably belongs to someone in the flats which have been built were the old Lido Cinema/Bingo once stood.
At the lights stands a Variety Club minibus.Can't say I've seen one in ages though there is a Lords Taverners Transit bus at Penllergaer Primary.An Iveco Turbo Daily with what looks like an Iris Bus conversion.A good old workhorse which will definately last til the school becomes eligible for a replacement anyway.
The Blind shop is part of a development which includes about 6 or 7 shops and finishes just around the corner on Lime Street.They stand on what was once Bassett's,Gorseinon's garage.Yes,I believe it was part of the early bus operator of the same name though they had another garage lower down the road too.This site was demolished years ago and bought by the owner of the Lido as a car park.He sold it on in the late 80's for redevelopment.Interestingly all the upstairs flats are empty as no fire doors were built into the design!! Shame,aside from the waste issues it's not a bad spot with parking behind too...........
