Ludgate Hill, London EC4 - 1962

St. Pauls Cathedral in the background at the top of Ludgate Hill, with most buildings still showing their 'war time' grime. Smokeless fuel had just been mandated for the London area, following the disastrous smogs of the 1950's, most buildings still had to be cleaned by sand blasting.

 

The black vehicle appears to be a 1951 L Series Vauxhall Wyvern.
