Photos and news reports from the 50's to the 70's
The A30 in Staines. Police direct the heavy London bound traffic on Monday June 6 1960, Whitsun Bank Holiday. In 1961, the Staines bypass opened, relieving the town of scenes such as this. Note the locals, watching the traffic, in a time when there were only 2 TV channels, in the evenings only. (Mirrorpix)
