Mint Street Car Park: late October 2021 Car parks are one of the most prosaic yet necessary features of modern life. Unbelievably, The City & Suburban Electric Carriage Company at 6 Denman Street, London, opened the first multi-storey car park in the in May 1901.  The first park and ride scheme operated from the 1960s in Oxford and the city also  introduced the first fully automatic pay on foot system in 1974. Ranging in size from a few spaces to the utterly enormous, they are still evolving. Cars, despite the widespread alarm about global warming, are getting bigger. Most of us deplore their necessity, but still hope for a space when we get to one!

No 70 bus in the High Street One of Maggie's more controversial statements, she claimed "anyone over the age of 26 still using a bus can consider themselves a failure". Mea culpa! The first public ‘bus”  line was launched in France in 1662 when Blaise Pascal developed a system of horse-drawn carriages that ran across Paris streets on schedule. The first significant omnibus improvement was achieved by laying rails over the existing routes which made them far easier for horses to pull. My father is not quite that old, but he can remember trolley buses which derived their power from overhead wires. I love them all, big, small, ancient or modern. And what's more I will be using the coming electric versions until I "go on", hopefully in a specially commissioned Routemaster Hearse!
