A bright red Royal Mail van in New Bond Street, London, in 1979, photographed from the rear three-quarter angle as it pauses by the kerb. The van still carries the EIIR cypher of Queen Elizabeth II on its side, along with the period Royal Mail lettering, while the registration YUW 355T is clearly visible above the roller-shutter rear door. Behind it, the smart shopfronts and restrained modern façades of Bond Street place the vehicle firmly in one of the West End’s most fashionable shopping streets, with signs for Céline Paris and Interlingua Translations visible nearby. It is a fine everyday London scene, capturing the capital’s postal service in an era before today’s larger fleet vans and rebranded street furniture.
