I can remember the same scene in Norwich, many years ago now. Cattle would be driven from Trowse up towards Bracondale, down Ber Street and to the Norwich market.
Then a few hundred yards away, in a different direction Carrow bridge would lift and get stuck. At Thorpe Narrows a double decker bus and a coach would try to pass each other and get stuck. All good fun on a Saturday morning. These were proper traffic jams.
