The Bank
A Raphael Tuck postcard from about 1925 showing a City of London Police Sergeant assisting a couple with their small child across the very busy Bank junction with the Mansion House in the background. The commentary on the reverse of the postcard is entitled "Safety First".
"The control of the traffic by the London Policeman is the constant theme of warm approval from visitors hailing from all over the world. His courtesy and kindness to the aged wayfarer, the stranger or the inexperienced, dazed by the turmoil and traffic of our streets, is equally worthy of a word of praise".
Again the useless Geotag system has put this scene south of the river, this is the City of London, not Southwark.
