Teesside gloom in the Winter of 1970-71
Winter greyness in the urban sprawl of an industrial town at the dawn of the 1970s. If it wasn’t for the Teesside 'trackless', it could have been almost anywhere in built-up Britain; even a setting for the Likely Lads.
This atmospheric scene shows Teesside Municipal Transport trolleybus T286 (formerly Teesside Railless Traction Board, Car No16) at the elongated roundabout on Birchington Avenue during the last months before the system’s closure in the April of 1971.
