Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! What a fantastic set of pictures and a great insight into people of the time. The streets look wonderful without cars and all the street furniture and related crap and detritus that accompanies them. This is one of the things that always strikes me about old photos - how much we've sacrificed to the internal combustion god.
