  1. It’s a shame all those buildings on the left were replaced with a shopping centre. Did that area become derelict and all those buildings were long gone before At Stephen’s green shopping centre was built? Kind of recall a car park being around that site.

  2. The streets were so plain back then. They could have done with a dizzying amount of plastic clutter, bollards, redundant signage, thermoplastic road paint of all colours and symbols that become chaotic and confusing, erratically placed collections of mini pillars to really enliven that street scene. Lucky for us that seems to be the current city council’s jam!

  3. Some cake a shite in the roads. The wheels must be flinging it. Can see the engine is heavy enough to carve ruts but it’s compact as fuck. And the lads are slipping on it.

    The humm of it must be unreal
