A sign of Christmas, as early as 10 o'clock the Coventry Corporation car park attendant put a 'Car Park Full' notice at the Bull Yard car park. Coventry, circa 1965.

A superb picture, showing the way messages were communicated to drivers before the advent of those ubiquitous things we all carry now.......

This box was on the A30, between Exeter and Honiton and the registration of the car to which the message applied is an Exeter one, so appropriate to the area.

Magdalenastraat Utrecht ca 1980

Not changed much beyond that warehouse being converted to flats.

Trafalger Square.

Blimey, I'd love to know the date of this picture, as that part of Trafalgar Square's been pedestrianised for as long as I can remember and I'm not exactly "in the first flush of youth"!

It was still like that in the mid 1980s

Old enough for the memory to fade? 😉

I'm fairly sure the pedestrianisation between Trafalgar Square and the Portrait Gallery wasn't put in until the early 2000s. 2003ish, I think.

Bloody hell, I must have spent a few years in a time warp! I was certain it was many years before then!
