Those of you who like a challenge may be interested in the stream of photos here: http://snipurl.com/27nw6eAll scanned from a 1930's West Riding Constabulary road safety bookletApart from the junction of the A58 and A659 at Collingham which others have identified (and I would never have got ....... though once told it's obvious!) the remainder are unidentified!

The link you have posted is a dud Grumpytramp. But it should work from this link here now http://snipurl.com/27nw6e
My flickr pictures are herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/Because lunacy was the influence for an album. It goes without saying that an album about lunacy will breed a lunatics obsessions with an album - The Dark side of the moon!

I'm not sure why, but that's how it is. To embed them and make them work on S.L, you have to reformat the link on snip url herehttp://snipurl.com/site/index

Thanks for posting these, Grumpy. Fascinating stuff.

I'd say that the 'Fifth Down, Left Hand Column' looks very much like the 'Cock & Crown' (pub) junction on (A638 ) Doncaster Road at Crofton, as is already statedThis is to the south of Wakefield, with the War Memorial on the right of the picture, & 'the Cock' to the leftThe Photographer is facing in the Wakefield directionSE 375 187 on OS sheets 110/111To possibly add weight to this location, the Wakefield area 'Traffic' training/development school is in Crofton, but I have absolutely no idea how many years it's been there.
