  1. I mean the roads likely changed and there will be loads of cards and no washing but it likely looks very much the same.

  2. This is by Martine Franck, the wife of Henri Cartier-Bresson and it was taken in 1977 not 1955

  3. When I was a lad in 1982 our back lane used to look like that I used to catch hell for running through them with the other kids in the lane playing chase and football.

  4. Looks like the setting in Monty Python The Meaning of Life when they break out in song singing “Every sperm is sacred!”

  5. i still had a old couple who put their washing in the back like this and leave their front door open must just be a habit

  6. Didn’t Michael Caine drive a blue Ford Cortina down a road like that collecting the laundry en route while trying to avoid the two villians pursuing him in a Mk.II Jaguar in “Get Carter” ?
