There are two birds sitting in a cage outside one of the windows here – actually there’s a second cage but I can’t see how many birds are in that one. There’s also an electric desk fan hung outside one of the windows to provide a drying breeze in case mother nature decides not to. The ragged tarpaulins and corrugated iron sheets enclose a produce/grocery store.
As I mentioned yesterday, about a month after I took this photo, the restoration order was published in the paper and over the next several years they set about restoring this row of former warehouses and stores into cafes, bars and shops. If you were to look at the same view today, you’d notice many of the rook lines remain the same but there’s a degree more homogenization and cleanliness about the place. No more bushes growing in the gutters.
