The Hull-Scarborough line crosses Spring Bank West at an oblique angle and was for long overlooked by this distinctive signal box of North Eastern Railway origin. The crossing gates were fitted with electric motors, thus saving the signalman some hard labour with a traditional wheel in the cabin. Here I capture EYMS AEC Bridgemaster 754 (3754RH) heading into Hull on the 92A Circular service via Cottingham and Willerby. This route ran in an anti-clockwise direction. The clockwise route that served Willerby and then Cottingham was the 29/29A. I used both routes when I lived with my parents in Willerby and then as a student resident in Cottingham.
EYMS operated a total of 50 AEC Bridgemasters of both rear- and forward- entrance variety. All but the initial four featured an upper deck that was contoured to fit the Beverley Bar. 754 belonged to the batch of 742-756 that entered service in early 1963, the last Bridgemasters to be built. Latterly painted in NBC poppy red, these buses lasted until 1976.

Delighted to have found this photo on the internet.
From 1939, for the duration of WWII, Ruskin College, then located in Walton Street, Oxford, was used as a maternity hospital. It served, primarily, mothers evacuated from the London blitz.
It looks as if it was organised and staffed by Red Cross and other volunteers.
I was born there!
Probably one of these ladies delivered me!
