An Eastern National FLF6LX (2931, AVX 973G) on route 251 to Southend in October 1971.1

The bus has just left St. Edward's Way (to the right of the photograph), and is about to head up Main Road.  To the left of the photograph is the corner of the roundabout and underpass known as Ludwigshafen Place, and beyond this is Market Place, dominated by the Debenhams store.
