1960 "Look at the lack of vehicular traffic. I remember hundreds of bicycles making their appearance on these roads when work was done at the end of the day." Al Lorentzen, Inverness, Illinois, USA: October 7, 2010 |

Industry Yes, Al. There was once a lot of brewing and other industry near here. A chimney at Holyrood can be seen in the background on this photo. Vehicles I noticed that the vehicles all seem to have been built in Britain. That looks like a couple of small Austins and is it a Ford Zephyr or Zodiac? I like the little single decker bus heading down the Royal Mile towards Holyrood, possibly on Route 1. Peter Stubbs: October 8, 2010 |

Reply "I think that the car in this photo is a Zodiac Mark II. The two-tone paintwork, rear bumper, elaborate rear-end styling and white sidewall tyres distinguish it from a Zephyr." Bryan Gourlay, Biggar, Lanarkshire, Scotland: October 24, 2010 |
