Saw a piece on this in the Telegraph today - looks fascinating, might well venture down to The Smoke for this.

The link is from The Daily Nazi as they have more pics.

Fascinating. The picture of the shop reminds me of old pictures you see of Africa, the grime and filth are there and sometimes you even see shop fronts in the "colonial" style which look like that, but here the people are clothed. The Kodak shot is pin-sharp.

the aerial picture of Waterloo disproves the 'roads were built for cars' myth.
