Hi Clive
I've lived down the road from Lane top since 1955 and as far as I can remember the tram terminated at Firth Park, the bus terminated just down the hill between the cinema and Hillards which was built in the 1960s and opened by the then Miss World Ann Sidney:D When I was a child the place where Hillards was built was a field and we used to climb the embankment and walk along the top in our way to the Capitol which, apparently, was the former name of the Essoldo but that was before my time
