Rainham, London Road c.1955

More about this scene
Trees line one side, and telegraph poles the other side of this section of the A2 from Rainham to Gillingham, where Mrs Hall had her hairdresser's shop, E H Chatfield was the confectioner and Len Button the butcher. Zebra crossings gave pedestrians priority over vehicles from 1951, but the little dog on the right has other priorities; the number of pedestrians would seem to present no problems to either the disappearing horse-drawn vehicle or the approaching cyclist.
