Now I know that to suggest the scene has passed out of living memory is an outrageous claim, given that the picture was taken in 1963, which means I have short changed lots of people.
But in many ways almost everything in the picture has vanished or been moved.
And with that tantalizing set of clues, I shall leave it to others to nominate the buildings that have gone, and what has been moved.
Along with what would have met the traveler in 1963 had they followed those railings.
