Re: Puzzle 4
I wasn't talking about a street sign but the one that said "RIX WAS HERE", sorry Doug I was only messing about I had no idea that there used to be a side door.

No problem Bagpuss, I've seen a picture in the last month or two that shows the door in situ along with a sign saying "Broardway" and clocks in the windows....I'll try and remember where I've seen it and post it.

Re: Puzzle 4
A sign saying "Broadway"? But Broadway is round the other side.
I do hope you can show us the pic with the door. Like Bagpuss I had no idea there used to be a door there but if I see it it may just jog my memory.

Re: Puzzle 4
It helps me realise I originally thought I was looking at the opposite corner!! (ie photographed from somewhere in the vicinity of "Si")  No wonder I was confused.
So, of course I was thinking of different trees too.

Re: Puzzle 4
Come to think of it you might also say the railing (which was very popular for leaning on and watching the world go by) is also now missing, as is the belisha beacon.
