Bygone Luton

A selection of advertisements that appeared in copies of "The Luton News" Directory of Luton, published by Home Counties Newspapers dating from 1950 and 1954 - all businesses long gone!

Old Shoreham Toll Bridge

Sorting out some old magazines for the charity shop, this little green Bell Punch ticket fluttered out.

The bridge over the River Adur was opened in 1847, owned in part by the London & Brighton & South Coast Railway, then the Southern Railway from 1923 and British Railways from 1948. Control passed to West Sussex County Council in 1970, although road traffic had ceased to cross since 1968.
