All Aboard! Going to Roundhay Park!

Advertising sign showing the fare from Leeds city centre to Roundhay Park as 3d each way. Look at the typography. What does it remind you of? How much would 3d be today? What about in the past? How much would this relatively have been? What else could you buy for 3d (or 6d return)?
