Summary[edit]

Description
English: Witham Road, Broomhill Years ago the bank used to be the Williams Deacons Bank and the small addition to the left used to be Lotus - a shoe shop. Next door to that was Truelove - a ladies fashion shop. Now it is Wish Again. Trams ran along here and then double-deck buses. Now they run single-deck buses and have extended the route to Hillsborough.

The prototype Standard Car (numbered 1) was built by Cravens at Darnall, and entered service in 1927. Subsequently about 150 more were built at the Queens Road works and 25 were built by W.E. Hill & Sons in South Shields. From 1936–1939 the Queens Road works built redesigned Standard Cars, which were known as the 'Domed-roof' Class and had improved lighting and seats.

The Leyland Atlantean was a model of double-decker bus built by Leyland (with bodies added by a variety of companies) in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1986.

The Leyland PD2s were built in the 1940s.
