By the cross at Brandesburton – 1979
By the cross at Brandesburton – 1979
This was on an enthusiast tour, but was recreating the sort of scene, with this type of vehicle, which was shortly to disappear. It is East Yorkshire 786, an AEC Renown with Park Royal bodywork, new in 1965, withdrawal being the result of conversion of services to one-person operation.

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

The cross probably dates from the 14th century, and was a market cross rather than a wayside or preaching cross. It is Listed Grade II and is also a Scheduled Monument.
Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.

In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.

In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.

In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
