Bristol '70s -

Caption says 1970s (Somerset) - but the Metro makes it at least 1980. More pertinently, the mkII Cav puts it forward at least one more year to '81.

'like' for all of these pics.

I've only seen one of these before -the second one.

Especially like the sixth one up with Ross's Bakeries.

Cheers, yeah - it's got a real 10 Rillington Place / Dickensian slum look to it. The Viva looks out of place - a thing from the distant future.

Why did advertising hoardings / billboards die out? They were eveywhere when I was growing up and have gradually all but disappeared. Presumably the answer is because companies felt their investment wasn't working. But why did it take them 10-20 years to work this out?? Or why did this kind of advertising stop working??
