It still looks pretty much the same now, except that there would be more people around. |

Greenside, York Place 1280 x 819 302K |
In the '60s there was a city block here, demolished to create this grassed-over traffic roundabout. The city paid lots of our money to some Italian dude to get the 'sculpture' erected on the grass. It had coloured fluorescent lights which were supposed to create synchronised patterns depending on how fast the anemometer on top turned. I saw it working one time. Mostly it didn't. The grassy slope on the right is currently a glass-fronted entertainment complex. The Playhouse theatre lies just beyond. The pavements have changed here as has the roundabout and the road layout. There is now a statue of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes here, at the end of York Place. |
