Zebra crossings used to be a very common feature in the UK. Many crossings now have pedestrian-controlled traffic lights to stop traffic. This zebra crossing survivor is across Walters Road. The crossing is marked by Belisha beacons, flashing amber globes on black and white posts on each side of the road, named after Leslie Hore-Belisha the Minister of Transport who introduced them in 1934.
