Dunstable, High Street South c.1955

More about this scene
This is an interesting contrast to photograph No 39737, because so little has changed. Reams of cloth still shield the shops, and the traffic is so light that elderly pedestrians risk the open carriageway rather than use the zebra crossing - they obviously have not seen the leather-clad biker roaring into the picture bottom left. The coach reminds us that the A5 has much history as a coaching route; it is waiting by the 'no waiting' sign. Meanwhile, the London Central Company are still in business as family butchers.
