Summary

Description
English: I think that this is Fleet Street junction with Ludgate Circus sometime in the late 1920s. It is obviously a 'mocked up' photograph and is titled "May Good Luck always cross your path". The Carter and Paterson lorry driver needs a bit of luck because his nearside front tyre is bald. Carter and Paterson was founded in 1860 as a carrier and delivery company and was one of the first delivery companies to change over from horse power to steam lorries in 1904. They had their depot in Goswell Road just north of the City of London. In 1933 they were taken over by the big four Railway Companies and in 1948 became part of British Road Services. The modern delivery company 'Lynx' is a direct descendant of Carter Paterson through takeovers, nationalisation and buy outs over the years.
