A wicker chair, a fairground at night and a sunlit hall

The Saturday, November 7, 2026 puzzle: five photos from history. Guess the year each was taken, on a timeline from 1900 to 2026.

  1. A bicycle-pedalled wicker chair waits at the corner of a white shop building with a clock, palm trees and a parked car beyond
  2. A fairground at night glows with neon from rides, with a tall ride tower and a crowd in the foreground.
  3. Cyclists ride across a wide junction beneath a web of overhead wires, with a long articulated bus and low buildings in the distance.
  4. Two silhouetted men in uniform stand in a huge hall as shafts of sunlight pour through high windows onto the floor
  5. Cars, a bus and two motorcyclists loaded with camping gear queue on a country road beside a German road sign
