Derby trolleybus 206, Morledge, Derby, 1964

            A view along Morledge towards Cock Pit Hill in Derby, a scene that has been completely obliterated by redevelopment. 

To the right of picture is the Castle & Falcon pub and beyond it, Cock Pit Hill. This 170-years old area of the city was cleared in 1970 to make way for the Lego looking Eagle Centre, a combined shopping and markets complex that still stands. 

To the left is the Central Bus Station, an art-deco designed structure that served the city until the early 2000s. It was pulled down despite public outcry, a modern none distinguishing facility now stands on the site.

Trolleybus 206, a 1949 Brush bodied Sunbeam F4 is bound for Victoria Steet. The 0 - 1 destination indicated short-workings not normally used by timetabled services.
 
Photo - April 1964 - scanned from the original 35mm slide.
