Most of the vehicles in the queue are heading for the tollbooths at the Mersey Tunnel in Liverpool.
The Morris/Austin/BMC and the Bedford appear to have just come along Whitechapel, having left
the wholesale fruit & vegetable market at Queen Square or Roe Street which are just to the left
of the picture. I cant make out the name on the Thorneycroft lorry, it may have also come from
the fruit market. The 2 Liverpool Corporation buses at the end of Victoria Street will be en route
to destinations toward the outskirts of the city. The Leyland PD2 bus on route 6C on the right is
about to go up Manchester Street, on its way to its terminus at Pier Head.
