The Square, Melrose old postcard late 1970s
It's a sunny Bank Holiday Monday, so time for a bit of virtual travelling and daydreaming about places we can't go to.
Melrose means more to me as the name of a Finnish band who John Peel regularly played. But it's also a town to the south-east of Edinburgh.
Datsuns 100A and 180B estate on the right. The former is pretending to be a bus and already appears to have an underseal tidemark.
Chrysler/Talbot Sunbeam is nicely showing off its all-glass tailgate. Several Cortinas, of course, and also what might be a matching pair of Allegro LEs?
Can't see if the Mercedes camper is LHD or RHD.
Looks like the road layout has changed since the above photo and the A6091 now bypasses the town: goo.gl/maps/c2y8a9bNL9B49cyb9
