Park Lane
Park Lane in 1930s Park Lane 2010
The old picture was taken in the 1930s - the modern picture was taken in April 2010. While the basic scene is little different, there are a few changes:-
  • The road has been surfaced.
  • Quite a few more trees have grown up.
  • Unusually the telephone pole has been taken down.
  • A 30 mph speed limit was introduced in 2004.
  • There has been an extension added to the right of 1 Park Lane (just visible to the right of the white end wall).
The driver of the Austin lorry in the old picture was Gilbert Clark who could still remember having his photograph taken.
