A plaque on the wall by St. Botolph-Without I'd never noticed before.

The whole wall.

A new (to me anyway) piece of art on the traffic island opposite the other St. Botholp's.

The passage into Mitre Square (St. James' passage?).

Mitre Square seemed shabbier than last time I was there (about 8 years ago). Don't know if that's the square or me...

Hi Harry,

Is that a recent photo? I'm just wondering if the redevelopment work is under way yet.

Regards, Bridewell.

Hallo Bridewell,

Those photos taken 23rd December last. What on earth are they going to redevelop now?

Cheers,
Harry

Hi Archaic,

Those stairs seem very familiar. Have they featured in a film (films). Les Bicyclettes de Belsize featured something similar.

Hi Harry,

It was mentioned last year. I think it was on this thread. I'll try to find it.

Regards, Bridewell.

Hi Harry,

John Bennett mentioned it in post 3589 (page 359). I don't think that was the only reference though.

Regards, Bridewell.

Hi Colin.

I'm afraid I haven't seen Les Bicyclettes. Or perhaps I've seen bits of it; the billboard scene sounds familiar.

Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question.
