Remember These?

Remember These?
Bridgwater High Street, Thanks to Tiabunna it dates to early 1960s and what I take to be a Scammel tractor unit, with my Triumph Herald car parked behind the man stood with his bicycle,

A wide load with no signs, orange beacons or escort vehicles not even extended wing mirrors how times change,

Please enlarge for details.

This was the main A39 road, hard to believe when you see the amount of traffic it carries now.

Found in a box of old photographs so not my image.

Agréable retour sur une autre époque où la sécurité n'était pas une priorité ! J'aime bien regarder ces images sur le passé ! Votre Triumph Herald semble petite à côté du convois, Roger, toutes mes félicitations pour avoir possédé un tel bijou !
