I think you are right about it being Queen street Andrew, I think the corner building above the offside,front of the buses roof was and still is the Principality building which would mean we are looking down from the castle end with what is now Macdonalds on the right.

Hi Neil,
Yes it still looks fairly similar now.my old man has told me they used to go in and out the city that route during the 60’s,it would have been one of the main routes to and from south/west wales.I can’t remember that though,I am far too young :wink:
Regards Andrew.
