Seaton Trams – 1971
Lindsay Bridge describes himself as “an Australian whose traveled widely. Fully retired since 1999, Lindsay has posted many of his photographs to his Flickr page. In this gallery of Kodachrome images, we go back to Great Britain in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Lindsay was on holiday, travelling throughout the country – often to places that don’t have literary footnotes, like Walwall. Wherever he goes, buses, trams and trains catch his eye. And so the temptation was to call this gallery ‘Great Britain by Bus in Glorious Kodachrome’. So we did just that.
