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.
