From July 1937 to October 1964 a fleet of electrically powered trolleybuses
formed the backbone of Hull's public transport system, providing
passengers with speedy, quiet and pollution-free rides throughout the
urban area. Services were frequent, operating every two minutes on
Hessle Road at the afternoon peak, every five or six minutes on
Chanterlands Avenue. Daily bus journeys to and from school fostered
Malcolm Wells' lifelong interest in Kingston-upon-Hull City Transport
(KHCT). He worked for a time in the Works Section, aiding his researches
into all aspects of KHCT's operations, while his extensive photographic
archive features not only the vehicles but also many bygone glimpses of
Hull streets.
