The 60s and 70s was before the demographics changed significantly and the

The remaining = two floors are horrible now.

it on 2 sides.


Whicg 2 sides its onme street and full of crap greengrocers


Eh? Its not a street, its offset from a now pedestrianised area with a sub

century did you last visit it? I was there 3 weeks ago as I work 10 mins walk
away.
