excellent! may thanks
ReplyDeleteAs a Londoner I recognised so many of these locations some of which are virtually unchanged. It is interesting to note how much less crowded the streets were in terms of people and indeed traffic. The quality of life in the city has really taken a nosedive over time!
ReplyDeleteI remember London as being very dirty in the late 60’s but busier. As kids we used to buy a red rover bus ticket and spend the whole day jumping on and off buses but never south of the river!! It’s so nice to look at the old locations though. Great work keep it up! Much appreciated
