Philip Green Educational - Slide Set S46 - Weather
15 – A rainy winter’s day in town. The rain is heavy and large puddles have formed. People are wearing hats, hoods and scarves and some are carrying umbrellas.
*Taken from the Teachers’ Notes for this set.
This shot reminds me very much of my childhood in the 70’s. The shopping trolleys & zip topped vinyl bags are very much of that period, and ‘Kwik Save’ went back as far as 1959, but the car on the right looks just a little too modern – possibly a 1980 model Ford ‘Grandad’ Granada coupe [the first without chrome bumpers]?

I am surprised noone has commented on the little lady on the right, you don't see many people with stunted growth these days, must've been the last generation where this happened quite often.
