I don't think this is Northern Ireland. The only `Workshops for the Blind`, I remember was in Lawnbrook Avenue, off the Shankill Road. The night helmets were worn by the RUC after 10-00pm at night, all year round. It coincided with Pub closing time.
I agree. I think its london, according to wikipedia, the newspaper banners on the hoarding is a london based Sunday paper. The paper was renamed over its life on a number of occassions, though none indicate the name shown here.
Here is the wikipedia entry:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reynold's News was a Sunday
newspaper in the
United Kingdom.
The paper was founded as
Reynolds's Weekly Newspaper[1] by
George W. M. Reynolds in 1850, who became its first editor. By 1870, the paper was selling more than 350,000 copies per week. George died in 1879 and was succeeded as editor by his brother,
Edward Reynolds.
[2]After Edward's death in 1894, the paper was bought by
Henry Dalziel[2] and in 1924 was renamed
Reynold's Illustrated News.
[1] In 1929, the paper was bought by the
Co-operative Press, linked to the
Co-operative Party,
[2] and in 1936 its title was shortened to
Reynold's News.
After the left-wing journalist
H. N. Brailsford wrote a series of articles in
Reynold's News criticising the
Moscow trials, the paper received hundreds of letters both supporting Brailsford and criticising him.
[3] In 1944, it was again renamed as
Reynold's News and Sunday Citizen,
[1] but the paper began losing money in the 1950s; it was relaunched in 1962 as a
tabloid named the
Sunday Citizen, but the final issue was on 18 June 1967.
[2]I cannot make out the writing on the other posters, something about "full text". Its good fun this sleuthing.
