Barrelling through there at night in the 1930s and 40s, with wall-to-wall black cars must have been half a nightmare !
Hence all the lit lamps, to steer traffic away.
LED lamps would have been a best seller back then, thats fer sure.
Low wattage bulbs equally so.
Wonder how many nights the flatpack 4.5v dry cells would last.
I guess a few pub nights was all that was required...
