EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cambridge in the 1960s. The image showcases a diligent policeman stationed on St Andrews Street, ensuring smooth traffic flow as he allows vehicles to pass by. Behind him stands Downing Street, with its charming architecture adding character to the scene. Adjacent to it is the Norwich Union Building Society, a prominent landmark that adds a touch of grandeur. The snapshot perfectly captures an ordinary day in Cambridge's history, circa February 1st, 1965. Rain pours down from above, creating shimmering reflections on the wet pavement below. Despite the inclement weather conditions, pedestrians continue their journeys undeterred while bicycles lean against lampposts and baskets overflow with goods. A classic Ford Cortina parked nearby hints at the era's automobile trends. A road sign indicating "no entry" serves as a reminder for drivers navigating this T-junction intersection. This evocative photograph is part of "The Way We Worked - Memory Lane Supplement" transporting viewers into a bygone era when dedicated traffic police officers diligently managed street congestion manually rather than relying on modern technology. Preserved through time, this picture print offers us glimpses into our past and reminds us how much has changed since then. It encapsulates both nostalgia and appreciation for those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our cities running smoothly amidst rain or shine.
