How Well I Remember The Buses On The Cornhill

A Memory of Ipswich.

I was born in 1956 and used to go to the town with my mum on the buses to town. She called them trolley buses but I can remember them stopping on the Cornhill ready to take us home again before they went to the electric house. My mum used to tell me off for touching the ladies' fur coats or their collars when I sat in the buses but I loved the feel of the fur. I also remember the conductors who had these ticket machines that gave out tickets which were green I believe for your money. I remember so much more about old Ipswich and yes those days were a lot safer than they are now.
