Northumberland St 116 years ago & I dont think it's changed much in that time.

I recall in the sixties when there was still a policeman on "Point duty" at that junction how much better the traffic flowed when he wasn't there!

I can still remember when there was traffic going up and down Northumberland Street!

When was it finally pedestrianised? The late 80s maybe?

Just looking at this photo again. Look at the bottom right of the picture, you can see a shop called Jaeger. This was one of the trade marks or brands sold by Binns or Bainbridge back when I was young, if I remember correctly.
