No, this driver hasn’t stopped to ask for directions. This is a demonstration, when angry residents stopped traffic on July 21, 1973, in Freeston Avenue, St Georges, near its junction with the A5 at Snedshill.

Tempers flared as some drivers tried to force a way through, and four policemen had to step in.
Notice the Raleigh Chopper bike in the foreground - this was a must-have item for youngsters in the early 1970s.
