I can see you're point Pastmagic and it did cross my mind but there are a lot of cars following which made me think this person was well know out side the local area and so may have been a bit more important. I don't think traffic would have been heavy enough back then to cause a traffic hold up to that extent. Or if as someone noticed there is a fire appliance than maybe the person is at the hero level which would draw people from outside.

Definitely looks like snow to me.  Much too pale to be cobbles and tram lines, surely?

I've been flollowing this without commenting so far.  But I too vote for snow - if you look the other side of the railings into the grounds of the church the ground is the same colour but flat - not cobbled.  It looks like snow.
