Conway Street
Bus Garage Fire in the 1970s
By Martin Nimmo
The West part of the Conway Street Garage of (then) Southdown company was the site of a major fire in the early 1970's. The inferno seems to have begun in one vehicle and destroyed or partly destroyed a number of buses, including some which had originated with the Brighton Hhove and District Omnibus Company. This view was taken a few days later, and shows the remains of (predominantly) Leyland PD3 double-deckers.
