Quite a nice little comparison, thought the Soho massive might like this.

Which would you rather ride around!

Wow - what a difference except the buses are still the same (or only just phased out). And is that progress? from the cars then to a Smart now!
Also amazing that that lovely building with windows is obviously worth more now as a Billboard.

I remember reading a magazine article several years back about the people who live in those apartments despite their windows being blocked by giant flashing billboards. Madness.

Great pictures.

Notice the way the Craven A billboard has been taken down to restore the building in the background's windows.
