More about this scene

This photograph shows Lordens Hill on a somewhat gloomy day. There are few cars parked along the street, but in those days private car ownership amid working families was still something of a novelty. The average wage was around £17 a week, and the annual road fund licence was £17.10.0d. A new Ford Cortina saloon cost £669, and a Zephyr £933.
