When you think of Prince of Wales Road, thoughts no doubt turn to the abundant nightlife and late-night takeaways the road has to offer.

Recently there have been lots of changes to the city's transport network, with one-way systems and more pedestrianised areas created.
These fascinating images show how one of the city's busiest roads has evolved over the years, and also the way we travel along it.
