Re: Old Three Towns Bus Pictures
I would have been happy with the image of the bus but there is a lot more in the photo to jog the memory - St. Peter's School; the putting green; the location of the the Lauriston, Ingledene and Kilmeny Hotels; St. Theresa's Convent; and the McFadyen Monument on the Castle Hill, &c. The photographer has even captured the 'old' red phone box opposite the Lauriston Hotel, which was mentioned in this topic from away back: -
