HERE is another collection of photographs of trolleybuses on Huddersfield's roads in the 1960s.
But look beyond the photographs to see some scenes that are long gone bringing back many old memories while some remain remarkably the same.
This front page scene is one only our older readers will remember. The steeple is from New North Road Baptist Church and the roads in the photograph are New North Road and Trinity Street in April 1965. The buildings from the church to Trinity Street housed shops, offices and Young Women's Christian Association hostel.
People may remember Wiley Bros cycle shop, Becktons secondhand shop and Mabel Lickess' florist shop on Trinity Street. All were demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the ring road.
The photographs were taken by David Smithies from Oakes who has a huge range of trolleybus photographs dating back to the early 1960s.

Trolleybuses were introduced in Huddersfield as a cheap alternative to trams and largely followed the same routes. The network operated from 1933 to 1968 and included 140 vehicles and 40 miles of roadway, reaching out as far as Brighouse, Marsden and West Vale.
The last trolleybus, 623, ran for the final time in 1968 and the main reason for their demise was because cheap petrol and diesel made motor buses a more economical alternative.
