Driving Licences

This little red book was issued to drivers up until 1973 and had to be renewed ever three years. It was then replaced with a paper version which was valid up to the drivers 70th birthday.

Dog Licence

Dog licences were first introduced in the UK in 1867 and were required for all dogs over the age of 6 months. This one was issued in 1986 just before the licencing of dogs was abolished the following year. The cost of 37pence (originally seven shillings & sixpence (7/6)) never changed over that time yet still many owners either couldn't afford one of simply choose not to get one, even with the threat of a £10 fine.
