Thanks for the reference.

Photographed on a bright Spring day, a Victorian/Edwardian mock-Tudor pub, its windows and doors boarded up. On the right an arch leads into a car park.

Looking over the pictures from that day I'm reminded how Geograph builds up images over time, and tracks changes: one image is of the Railway Hotel, Edgware, which has been in limbo for years. Geograph pictures will form a flick-book of decay, or (fingers crossed) progress.

The former industrial buildings that Car Giant occupied have only survived becauseof the company. I have to say I will be very sad if they get demolished.

A postcard of the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead.

Looking at the code at the bottom, I'm assuming it dates from 1968, a good six years before the Hospital was opened. It's an artist's impression, from a time when such things didn't have trees in full leaf.
