Northbrook Street, Newbury old postcard late 1970s

1978 at least, going by the T-reg on the rather smart Colt Sigma estate. The white Datsun 140/160J up the road is also of particular interest to me.

The Mk1 Landcrab is a survivor from the 1960s, and there's also a Minor (they seemed to hang around and often make an appearance in later cards).

Simca 1100 (bottom left) might be a late example in that colour?

The Cavalier and Peugeot 504 (not 304?) look to have suffered at the hands of the colouring artist.

The shot is taken looking northwards, with The Broadway visible in the background - see the older card I have of that below.

I believe this stretch of road has now been pedestrianised, so I can't get an exact location, but this is looking at it from the opposite direction: goo.gl/maps/E7sJe4fXPEcZvvbS6

Ridley's Records on the left is apparently no more.

Unsent card published by ETW Dennis & Sons Ltd, ref. N.0107.
