Oh, What Happy Days !!! Zephyrinus is Delighted To See That The Traffic Situation Has Improved Since 1950.

A photograph showing The Whitsun Holiday traffic returning from

The South-East Coast of England, taken in May 1950 by John Topham

for The Daily Herald. 

The photograph was taken at the Rochester By-Pass in Kent.

This was the first Coupon-Free Petrol Holiday since 1939. Petrol Rationing was introduced 

in 1939 by The Government, requiring people to exchange Coupons,

as well as money, for their fuel.
