Pedestrian Crossings. A history. The day-to-day grumblings of the people who had to use them and the people who had to design them are amusing enough on their own, but the biggest joke is that, for whatever reason, the Men from the Ministry just couldn't come to terms with the idea that it could all be as simple as red, amber and green traffic lights. 4:44:27 PM   London | |

Modest Countryside Housing. Two great books: The manor houses of England; illustrated by Sydney R. Jones (1910) Modern homes, selected examples of dwelling houses, described and illustrated by T. Raffles Davison (1909) The illustrations are amazing. 8:52:30 AM   Art & Advertising, Literature | |
