Further to my origianl response:

Last night, I was shown a photograph of Christmas shoppers in Birmingham
City Centre, beside a row of lamp- posts each of which had a
"Pedestrians - Keep Left" sign attached.

The photograph was taken in 1937!

(and can be seen in one of Alton Douglass' books on old Birmingham)
