Where? I think it could possibly be the newly erected CIUDC transport depot in the corner of King George V playing fields. Name of roadsweeper ? Machine; Might be Guy or Dennis. Man; No idea but he seems to be remonstrating with the machine for taking over his job. Tho’ it seems he had no reason to worry as in these times of the CPBC we see a lot more of the man, broom’n’barrow than we do of his traffic slowing, less efficient mechanical counterpart.
