I posted this with no info in the pics thread a couple of weeks ago.

Described as Battle Hill, Newcastle, 1975.

Had a quick look in Streetview, didn't find exact street (there are loads which look the same) but the area looks almost the same 45 years later. Didn't see a beige Marina blending into the scenery though. Might have another look, see if I can find a match.

bloody hell, must have been terrifying for the passengers on the bus, and the (presumeably not at fault) metro driver too - there's nowhere to escape in those tiny cabs

Well remembered. I went there when I was a nipper, when it was a cinema.
