When you live in a place, it is easy to miss how it is changing.
This is Piccadilly in 1964, and I can remember going in all of those shops and standing at that bus stop.
More than half a century on, I can’t now tell you where we were going from that bus shelter, or just when the buildings and their occupants changed, or for that matter whether I prefer the scene now or then.

Do you remember when the bus station behind the gardens was called or referred to as Parker St bus station by some people? Eg, my granny.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Charlton Street bus station or somewhere different?
ReplyDeleteChorlton Street is where the coach station.
DeleteParker Street is adjacent to the Piccadilly Gardens metrolink Station.
