I looked at that first pic, and thought 'that's Glasgow' without recognising anything specific in it, it's Cumbernauld Rdmy cousins lived in Stepps so we probably went by that bit quiet a lot in the early 70s when I lived in Sighthill, Springburn as a kid
Got to love the Leyland National in the 2nd pic, a rare sight these days

It certainly is, apparently the dual carriageway through the village of Stepps was the busiest road in Scotland for a time, before the bypass was constructed. Hard to believe now, it's a nice quiet place. my cousins lived in Stepps so we probably went by that bit quiet a lot in the early 70s when I lived in Sighthill, Springburn as a kid

That's 1970s. A bit poignant, Woolies next to BHS!W124Bob said:
I came across this shot of what looks like De Gaulle and his Citroen DS standing in a convoy. Unfortunatley I forgot to note the location. He had several DS with full length sunrroofs over the years .
Some info from Google:Le 18 mai 1962, le Général de Gaulle, Président de la République, est reçu Place Bonnyaud par les autorités locales.

Great pictures, just one point. Whitmore Reans is in Wolverhampton, I had a girlfriend at Wolves Poly in the 1980s who lived on Clifford St; the same view today on Google Street View(minus a couple of buildings).https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.5939354,-2.14549...
