Another good photo. South Shields looked a far better town centre back then and I love the trolley bus in the photo. People seemed to dress better back then as well.

I think the invention of jogging pants was the worst fashion ever. Lots of people seem to wear them. They are everywhere.

Great photo Norman, and fond memories as my first Saturday job was at Hardy’s.

The chap on the rear of the Trolley, is he about to hop off?

I remember that a lot of lads would do things like that until the Atlantean buses came along.as their doors were at the front. Usually hoping off early as the bus was stopping.
