Wew - no crash hat or anything. The past is another country.

It's a trike, you can still ride one without a skid lid today.

Yup. Me riding my first one on the M11 a fair few years ago. My son on the back (wearing a helmet I’m not daft) is 38 now. 
Edit. It might have been the North Circular Road.

Shell petrol all over the place in Helsinki, 18/5/55. Injuries? 3, minor. The area was evacuated whilst the fire brigade dealt with the spill.

Macclesfield.

My Brother lived there for many years & I often visited, but I'm not sure where this is.  Much of the town centre has been pedestrianised so it might not be easy to recognise.

An old bus has met its end and was dumped as was common in Norway in the past. The ferry stopped and the bus was pushed off and went to the bottom and the ferry continued its journey.

Turog bread - I just learnt something new.

"Around 1900, Spillers launched an off-shoot: the Turog Brown Flour Co, and immediately began to sell the virtues of their wheatgerm flour in terms of its power to invigorate you with ‘vim’ and ‘vitality’.  If you ate Turog brown bread every day you would, they boasted, ‘…lay the foundations for a healthy future’.  You wouldn’t exactly light up like a pinball machine, but your ‘vigour’ would definitely take off.   Spillers launched a big and successful advertising campaign and many grocery shop windows across Britain displayed the Turog window logos."

I can't quite make out the car on the right, behind the first Morris 1000 van; from the rear it looks like a Hillman Husky (the estate version of the Imp) but, if memory serves, the Husky was quite a tall estate, whereas this vehicle looks lower than the Morris. I did think it was some kind of Band, bit then I realised it had FOUR wheels, and I don't think the 875 was made as an estate.

Definitely a Husky, not as tall as a Minor van. HB Viva behind the next 1000 van, I think.
