Stoneferry Road - November 1967

            Stoneferry Road is on the east bank of the River Hull and back in 1967 was the base for several vegetable oil processing companies. I'm not sure if that was Slingsby Ltd.'s line of business but the building beyond was a margarine factory, as my memory has it. KHCT AEC Regent III 264 (HRH464) heads off into November gloom, passing a BMC J2 pick-up as a Dodge 500 lorry approaches. It is working the 30 route to Stoneferry - a favourite of mine that tended to use the oldest buses in the fleet and which followed a sinuous course past a rich industrial landscape, crossing the River Hull over the Scott Street bridge. The side ad for Stardrops was commonplace on Yorkshire municipal buses, while the rear ad is for Selles of Hull - a furniture retailer and removal company. HRH464 was one of the first batch of AEC Regent IIIs to be delivered to Hull, in 1947. Subsequent deliveries had 8ft wide bodies. The 20-year veteran had only a few weeks' service left before withdrawal and its one-way trip to a Barnsley-area scrapyard.
