I WAS interested to read your article about the road safety demonstration in Cornmarket Street, Oxford, in 1947 (Memory Lane, November 4).
I recall, as a five year old, laying down in front of a car in Marshall Road, Cowley, surrounded by young, supposedly concerned onlookers, as part of a road safety campaign.
I seem to recall that the photographer working for the Oxford Mail at the time was a Major Miller who also happened to live in Marshall Road.
There were not many cars around in those days – you were really somebody if you owned one.
