  1. Would this not be early 90s? Cool FM started in 1990.

  2. There is a k11 Micra in the background there which were sold from 1992 on. Nice picture.

  3. What’s really struck me in recent visits is how the “golden mile” is so quiet on an evening. In the 90s it was the place to be. Now seems to be the cathedral quarter and places like that with all the activity.

  4. 90s… Even assuming everyoene in picture are driving brand new cars, the two Fiestas were only sold from late 1989 onwards and as somebody mentioned micra only 1992.

  5. Cool FM might not have existed in the 80s, but the screen above the bank sure did. I’d never seen a display that large when I was a kid so it was exciting when my parents drove past it.
