Oh, how surprising & wonderful to see these today… transporting me back to the exact streets I walked and roamed for several years. (Wholeheartedly echo Matt’s particular comment.) A unique happenstance experience for me this morning, incarcerated as I now am from the entire world. These photographs are now my own private photo-album. We are SO, so connected to our past.

Just watched The Omen III: The Final Conflict and noticed a sign on a building that read, ‘Naranjan House’ and decided to google it to see the location….it’s Artillery Passage!

It is great to see, for a change, images of the fairly recent past. Not quite vintage, but not quite “now” either. Things have changed so much even in 30 years!

The subtle shift from dirty and interesting to today’s shiny and boring makes me weep for the Spitz club and the Golden Heart as-was. Lovely photos dear heart, thanks 🙂

Wow what an insight, if only we’d known then what we know now.

What a fascinating collection of images. It clear how much the area has gentrified, but it seems that a lot of the character has been retained. It’s lovely to see images of Samuel Stores on the corner of Gun Street, which is now home to The Drawing Room, our hair salon. Recently we had a visit from an old man who was born in the building. We’ll be interviewing him soon. We’ll be sure to share it!
