Bus Shelter

A Memory of Hadleigh.

Many is the time I have spent in that bus shelter, on a winters night, freezing, waiting for an Eastern National bus or a Campbell’s Flyer [1/2 penny cheaper in old money].
Having been to the Kingsway cinema and munching on a bag of chips from Tyson’s fish shop in the parade of shops opposite the cinema, or if I was “lucky" trying to have to have a kiss & cuddle in the back of the shelter where is was darker and often even colder.
The shelter was hexagonal in shape, also the seat inside was hexagonal which had many names & pledges of love carved over many years on it.
I do not remember the demise of that old friend, another victim of the planning philistines who have, and still do blight our district.
