The buildings visible are little changed, although the scenery has changed dramatically, the road, with Church Square beyond, now being a traffic free open space Link .

The bus is Hartlepool Corporation 36, one of a batch of 5 Leyland Leopards with ECW bodywork. They were the first ECW bodies delivered to a non-BTC operator after Leyland had taken a 25% share in ECW in 1965. The front end design was non-standard and as far as I am aware was unique to these 5 buses.

This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link
