More about this scene

Double-decker buses still plied in and out of Selby's bustling Market Place at this time. A look at the shop fronts is interesting, with names like Gilbeys, selling wines and spirits; the Home & Colonial Stores; Dewhursts the butcher's; and Drakes, selling coats and gowns, all reminding us of what shopping was like half a century ago.

I had forgotten that the buses used to use the area in front of the abbey as a terminus. I lived in Selby from my birth in 1954 until 1972. I frequently caught a bus from the corner of Buller Street & Flaxley Road to school on Abbotts Road. Most of the buses in Selby were green, but the East Yorkshire buses were a regal shade of dark blue with a cream stripe.
