Standard street furniture became a hazard (the post box in picture 1).
Even cattle didn't escape the blackout and were considered a hazard (picture 2).
clothes didn't escape unscathed (picture 3).
Accidents and collisions became a common place occurrence.
The car in the last picture has collided with the bus in the blackout and caught fire.

Wonderful as always Darran. This is an aspect of the black-out that I had not considered before. Thank you for showing us what it was like back then.
