A car queue, a fruit store and a bicycle off a bus trailer

The Saturday, October 31, 2026 puzzle: five photos from history. Guess the year each was taken, on a timeline from 1900 to 2026.

  1. A long queue of cars with their headlights nearly touching waits on a tree-lined road beside a cycle lane and a roadside building
  2. A street corner with a hotel above a grocery and fruit store, parked cars on brick paving and an awning banner advertising meats and beer
  3. A busy downtown square seen from a high window, packed with parked cars and shoppers crossing the streets in front of old brick stores
  4. Shoppers queue in a crowd at a market stall with hand-written price signs in a shopping street.
  5. A man in a cap wheels a bicycle down the ramp of a bus trailer that is open like a clamshell, with a slogan painted on its side
