Description:A familiar site is the people waiting and looking down Lee Bank Middleway for a number 8 bus going up to Five Ways. Lewis Green took this picture from his flat across the road. Its an ordinary everyday picture but not one you see photopgraphed too much. You wonder if the couple knew each other and did they speak while waiting. The distance between them would seem to indicate they didn't.
