Middlesbrough Road, South Bank – 1971
This section of Middlesbrough Road has been completely obliterated by the construction of the current A66.

Classic South Bank ironworks scenery, including gasholder and blast furnace, with a Teesside trolleybus on the final day of trolleybus operation.

Trolleybus T291 was one of 5 bought second-hand from Reading in 1969 to shore up the ageing fleet. It is a Sunbeam F4A with Burlingham bodywork, new in 1961.

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