Nantwich Town Centre Pedestrianisation

I have just started to review the contents of my many hundreds of various analogue video tapes that I have produced with various cameras and camcorders from the early 1980s.
It’s only when looking back on them that I realise how much things change over the decades.
When I was going through this I was gob smacked to see such a mishmash of 'stuff' going on!
as you can see the overriding feature is the pedestrianisation of the town centre.
What was once the main bus route through this market town had become a serious congestion area. So, like many small towns a decision was made to make it a pedestrian only area.
All of that digging, block paving, excavating going on while cars are driving through, shoppers strolling around, kids about, deliveries being made etc. etc. There's hardly any physical barriers, it's hard to tell the grafters from the rest of the 'cast' no high viz waistcoats, no hard hats, no Health and Safety posters/instructions.
I suspect claim specialists put paid to that, over the years.
