Hi Mayfield

Your photo does not enlarge and I can't really see it with my poor failing old eyes.

I was 2yrs young when the photo was taken it did not change much in later years but traffic lights were put up at the Coventry Rd/Charles Rd crossing & there are still lights there now. Len.

Abbey Road, behind Lords cricket ground, London. The most famous zebra crossing in the world, I think - I used to pass it on one of the ways to Victoria when I drove the Motorway Expresses in the 70s and 80s.

Here's a few more famous people on the crossing - https://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/13436
