Stanstead, Essex.
Various shots of cars, buses, and large lorries (Juggernauts) driving up and down the main road of Stanstead. The road is quite narrow and some of the very large trucks create traffic problems. Shots of traffic stuck in the street as it backs up, possibly from level crossing. More shots of large lorries going up and down.

This is Stanstead Abbott's high street in Hertfordshire when it was still the A414. The level crossing in the distance is the one at St Margarets Rly Stn on the Hertford East line.
Yeah, very recognisable to me
My parents ran the post office 1977-1982 in its original position next to Barclays Bank - roughly opposite Butlers Motorcycles. I remember the whole building shaking as the lorries passed.
@3.06 I remember those big old lorries from a kid, takes me back to the days my parents went auction hunting, but having the exhaust at the front there can't have been particularly good for the drivers!
An old yellow BT Commer van at 3:53! ...BT used them well into the 1980's... remember seeing one near where I lived as a kid in about 1986!
I live here, a very recognisable place. It's also Stanstead St Margaret's
HGV Drivers earnt their corn back then with the old crunch gearboxes.
Out of the dozens of vehicles which appeared I counted only 15 non British bult. I wonder what proportion these days would be made in the UK?
Great piece of footage.
Looks like the T junction sign is the same one that's there today
. Can't be can it?
A long time before the bypass opened and it went from being the A414 to the B181. Burtons shopfront didn’t change at all for a lot longer than I realised. For a moment I thought there was a glitch in the matrix when those lightweight landies and 90s went past. Was it always a chemist at the corner of South Street ?
At one point the same Land Rover appears to go past about half a dozen times in the space of 30 seconds! ...yea, I know it's different ones (an Army base nearby?) - but it does look quite surreal all the same!
To put a guess on the exact year here l would say 1974 it must be at least September 1973 onwards due to spotting two face lift Mk3 Cortina’s only launched then, l see no Mk2 Escorts so doubt the year goes beyond 1975
Nothing later than 'M' plates. Aug 1973 +
Wonder how many of these vehicles are still on the road
