I'm up to my tits at the moment and am only skimming through images, but curiosity drove me into the arms of Google streetview before I posted, and, because there was an oddity to the place on that, I mentioned the reshoot as I love images that contrast the old with the new.? Seeing Jim's later comment that the date numbers have been moved from one building to the next, I realised the cause of the strangeness in the image is that the fronts on some of the buildings have also been lowered - in addition to the date relocation. Don't know why they did that, but the place looks better in Jim's 1952 image. In photography the power of the fourth dimension - time - is amazing. Any further backstory on that, Jim?
