I have had the one of my dad for a few years now, but the one of my grandmother was a recent find.

A rather special photo of the number 50 bus terminus in Albert Street in the City in the early 60's. You might ask "what is special about it?" and I would reply "Because it has managed to capture an image of my grandmother on a shopping trip to town".  She is the lady in the large check coat crossing the road on the right of the photo.

Wow   :)

It looked lovely then. I really wish they hadn't started messing with it to be honest, and I'm not sure that they'll ever stop messing with it.
