More about this scene

Bridge Street in about 1955, looking towards the junction of Tilehouse and Sun Streets. The sign next to H A Furr's confectionery shop advises traffic for Bedford and Luton to use Tilehouse Street, while traffic for Baldock is directed down Sun Street. The hump in the road by the Plough and Dial is the bridge, which gives the street its name. On the right is Sale's garage, with a Pratt's petrol pump delivering Shell fuel.
