Oxford 1976, Bus on Cornmarket Street, Large Photo


Description: This is a Large 11"" inch x 8"" inch photo of a period scene of Cornmarket Street, Oxford in 1976. A 1970 ECW bodied Bristol VR, fleet number 901, registration plate OFC901H, route 520 and destination board 'Wood Farm' is about to turn into High Street as it leaves Cornmarket Street on it's way past Lloyds Bank. It is a busy friday afternoon and although Cornmarket Street had not yet been fully pedestrianised, the number of people walking in the road is indication that this street warranted it.

In 1976 the first phase of pedestrianisation was already underway, with Cornmarket Street only being accessible to buses and taxis, but today it is a fully pedestrianized 'zone', with vehicle access allowed only at specific times.

This particular Bristol bus is adorned with a classic banner advertisement of the day, which reads 'Techomes - Build with Care', no doubt a local company who has long ceased to exist.

A typical 1970's week-day scene in Oxford depicting a classic Bristol VR in action.

This Photograph will look Beautiful in a frame and would make the Perfect Gift
