More about this scene
The poster on the extreme right of this picture is advertising the forthcoming local District Council elections. This has obviously not caused too much of a stir in sleepy Bedwas. Even the dogs are nonplussed - and the fact that they are happily standing in the middle of the road suggests that any traffic hazard in such a quiet backwater was probably very limited. The road works warned of by the sign were never likely to be the cause of too many traffic jams when car ownership was still quite low and the availability and use of public transport correspondingly high.
