I've found an interesting one there, that I must show to my dad.

It looks to me like Plantation being demolished - obvious streets, and the tunnel Rotunda in the distance - but there are just a few single tenement closes still standing amid the rubble.

Brings back memories

I don't know about anybody else but I can still smell the underground. It was a very distinctive smell that I can't begin to describe. Those pictures brought it right back to me!

There are a lot fewer cars on the roads. Oh for the good old days!
