Despite major redevelopment of Church Square and Church Street, this particular row of buildings has survived intact. The Devon was a bar, apparently in the basement, which appears to have had a less than salubrious reputation by the 1970s.
The bus is Hartlepool Corporation 81, a Daimler CVG6 with Roe bodywork new in 1953, so already long in the tooth for a municipal bus.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
