Castleford...July 7th, 1985

The start of pedestrianisation of Carlton Street.
Not a lot of health & safety going on here by the workers.
No proper road closures, no cordoned off working areas, or much PPE.
And cars ignoring the new No Entry signs!
And a look at some Glasshoughton housing construction.
