Description: | c1953.
Watercolour painting by Pete Lapish showing Park Row in the 1950s. In the foreground is a Horsfield tramcar on Route 1 passing one of the two new single deck 'Coronation' cars. These had differing controls and were designed as the prototypes of a new fleet. The traffic lights were built in the coronation year of Queen Elizabeth II and are reputed to be the first in England. On the right the junction with Bond Street is visible.
