1966 - Just how I remember Oxford Street, full of crew-operated buses and bustling with people. D H Evans was a purpose-built department store which opened in 1937 and became House of Fraser in 2001 but it closed permanently in the early part of last year. Marshall & Snelgrove, further along the street, is on the site of the now-empty Debenhams.

A confusing jumble of traffic lights and street signs in Oxford Street, 25th September 1965. You cannot turn left or right but the "No Left Turn" sign is of the old type whereas the sign for no right turn, without text, is the modern variety. The Worboys Committee had recommended that signs using symbols without text wherever possible should be adopted in the UK and the 'New Traffic Signs' of 1964 were part of the most comprehensive reformation of the UK streetscape ever.

The Caledonian Cattle Market in Islington - an area known as Copenhagen Fields. The market operated from the mid-19th century until the 1960s.

The market was named after the Caledonian Road, which runs adjacent to the site. The market was a hub for cattle trading, and was built on a vast 32-acre site.

Loving these.
