A Queen Mary in Goring Road, Worthing

This one from one of my Father's slides, Southdown PD3 933 6933CD just travels westwards along Goring Road in Worthing, just west of Alinora Avenue in August 1974 during the last days of the 31 service. Not much has changed in the vicinity, the concrete road surface has now been covered with tarmac and the change from 30mph to 40 mph is now behind the photographer, towards the Mulberry.I might be tempted to get a comparison shot in the evening if the weather holds off!

I've pinned a location to the map, click on the location link below to see the location.

Some more.....

A couple more today, one an aged black and white negative and a partially cleaned colour slide.


Southdown JCD73 at West Worthing
373 JCD73,  I believe this is a Leyland PD2 of 1942 with a 45 seater Leyland body, pictured on route 103 having passed West Worthing station and approaching the Tarring Crossing junction. Another rather poorly negative.

Southdown BUF154C at Worthing garage
1754 BUF154C, a C.1965 Leyalnd Leopard with Harrington Cavalier bodywork, looking a little drab in National White livery. I believe this is Worthing garage.
