Autotalo, 'Car House' in Helsinki completed in 1958, photographed in 1959. Originally, the building had a car dealership and a petrol station, hence its name.

A very basic petrol station, the oddest I've seen a picture of was an Italian one on the hard shoulder of an Autrostrada!

Pope John Paul II certainly travelled in style when visiting France in 1986.The 604 was stretched by Heuliez, not sure who converted the 504 into a Popemobile.

These are no longer to be found in The Netherlands.

The medieval Respryn Bridge in Cornwall was built in the 15th century and stands over the River Fowey and was the site of a fierce conflict in the English Civil War.

At the outbreak of the War in 1642, Parliamentarians initially guarded the bridge. However, in 1644, they were forced to abandon it, allowing Royalist troops to use it as a strategic passage to unite their army.

The Battle of Lostwithiel shortly followed, becoming one of the greatest victories for King Charles I, and a catastrophic loss for the Parliamentarians.
