Those Were The Days
Here’s a wonderful period scene from the early 1950s. It was taken at the junction where the A325 leaves the A30, at the north end of Camberley in Surrey. The junction is still there on the A30; neither road is a major route these days, of course, although you now have to go round an island in the road, on which is the American Golf ‘store’, when travelling southbound. In those days, you just carried on straight ahead on the A30, like the Foden and low-loader are here.
