This old photograph from our archives has some interesting and revealing features - no zebra crossing where the belisha beacons stand, for instance, and also notice the street light in the foreground on the right and the other two on the pavement to the left of the belisha beacons. In the pictures on this page the police are attempting to instil road sense into junior school children by turning a playground at Linthwaite into a road system, using pedal cars, tricycles and miniature Belisha beacons. Awaiting it on the far side of the track at a London bus stop next to a zebra crossing complete with belisha beacons, will be the 36 dancers from the hip-hop troop Zoo Nation, the CanDoCo Contemporary Dance Company and Royal Opera artists, all sheltering under umbrellas. |
