Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Taken from the top deck of a Barnet bound 263, looking towards Highgate. The building on the immediate right was Archway Road Baptist Church. It had closed by 1941. Highgate District Synagogue took over the building in 1950, refacing it with yellow bricks. It was damaged by fire in 1975 resulting in its derelict condition in this photo.

The bus passing south is ex-London Transport RF394 (reg. MXX 282), a 1953 RF class. Latterly operating out of Dalston garage on route 236, it had been withdrawn by April 1971 without having been converted for one-man operation, which probably explains its use since then as a private bus for an army cadet unit in Putney until 1979, and then as seen here, by Purley High School, all the while still in London Transport livery. It was bought for preservation by 1983, but is believed to have been destroyed by fire by 1985.

Behind is a United Counties coach en-route to Kings Cross and a southbound 263 can be seen in the distance
