The answer to yesterday's question was a mobile shop. Did you guess correctly?
As you can see from the photo, this old van & hundreds like it used to be quite a common sight on British roads. These days not so much, as most people have cars & easy access to shops & supermarkets. But up until say the late 1960's things were different, especially in rural areas, where traders used to go around selling all sorts of things from the back, or side of a van. Today the only real mobile shops are ice cream vans & to a lesser extent, mobile libraries.
Nowadays there are next to nothing such cars. And they look more prettier than famous white vans.
