Midland Red S15 in Hyde Lea

Yes this is a another early photo I took with my little Ilford Sporti camera. It was about 11.43am but I can't tell you exactly when it was but I expect it was summer 1966 as 4621 didn't come to Stafford till December 1965. I know the time at least as during the week all the other trips on this town service the S98 was with double-deckers. The local allocation was only for seven saloons and surprisingly it operated more S15's like this than the ubiquitous S14 of which I believe there were only three listed. However S15's came and went with firstly new 4647, then 4602, 4621, 4608. Also new was 5087 and 5085 was here for a while too.
  4621 is seen passing the Hyde Lea village school which was handy for me as lived just across the road. I can still remember a lot of things from my very early years whereas others have terrible memories.
