The Ford Model T was a popular vehicle used by the police during the 1920s Credit: Wiki Commons TUM image id: 1649335614 Licence: CC BY 2.0	Children play on an abandoned car (1960s) One of many photos taken by Frederick James Wilfred who was active as a photographer in London during the late 1950s and early 1960s Credit: Frederick Wilfred TUM image id: 1649332048 Licence:	London Street Hawkers, Selling Baked Potatoes (1890) Crowned jauntily with spuds, portable ovens such as this were a regular sight on London’s streets during autumn and winter in the late nineteenth century. Edgar Scamell took the photograph for the National Photographic Record and Survey (1897-1910), a project to document buildings, ceremonies and customs. It’s thought that around ten tons of potatoes were sold in this manner every day. Baked beans were unlikely to have been a filling, though they didn’t arrive in the UK until 1886 and were sold by Fortnum & Mason as a fancy foreign delicacy. This photograph, along with its description, appeared in Time Out magazine’s "Top 40 Best Photos of London" collection.
