1. Title: A Stepping Stone to Safety: Post-War Town Planning and the Innovative Road Crossing by W.H. Robinson (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library In the aftermath of World War II, the rebuilding of towns and cities became a top priority for governments and communities around the world. One of the many challenges faced during this period was ensuring the safety of pedestrians in busy, bustling urban areas. Enter W.H. Robinson, an ingenious town planner, who devised a novel solution to this problem: a safe road crossing system using a cradle and winch. This photograph, taken in the post-war era, showcases the innovative design in action. Pedestrians, some with a hint of amusement or apprehension on their faces, wait patiently in the cradle as it is lowered across the road. Once they have safely crossed, the cradle is hoisted back up by the winch, allowing the next group to embark on their journey. The image not only encapsulates the spirit of innovation and determination during the post-war era but also highlights the importance of prioritizing safety in urban planning. This humorous yet historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the challenges faced and the solutions devised during a pivotal moment in world history. W.H. Robinson's cradle and winch system may no longer be in use today, but its legacy lives on in the form of more sophisticated traffic management systems that continue to prioritize the safety of pedestrians in our ever-evolving urban landscapes.
