There is evidence that this is post 1969 - summer of perhaps. In 1966 the town
still had trolleybuses and yet there is no trace of the town centre's
complicated overhead wiring in this picture. The support poles/lamp posts do
remain, as they would for a relatively short while whilst new modern lights were
installed from 1970.

Looking at the second 1966 picture I may be wrong! This picture also shows no
evidence of trolleybus wiring but does clearly show a trolleybus. (front of,
facing Square from Gervis Place) It maybe that someone has been busy with a
1960's airbrush - trolleybuses were out of fashion at this time and some
contemporary postcards etc did have the wires deleted.
