 The locations of many of my early photos are a mystery to me as I kept few records of those that I took. This one is no exception. It shows a pair of Leicester Corporation vehicles, perhaps on a private hire - 198 [198GJF] & 212 [SJF212] 198, on the left, is an AEC Reliance 4MU3RA with Marshall B54F body dating from 1963. On the right is 212, one of five Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/1’s with Weymann B44F that would usually be found on the inner circle route. This vehicle dates from 1957
