North Road at the corner of Regent Street in 1990 and later in 2012. Not much change really but such a shame the advert was painted over on the side wall. Still just visible if you get in the right light.

North Road in 1990 and again in 2012. Most of the buildings have been demolished. The only thing recognisable is the cobbled paving stones to the right of the picture and the buildings further up the road.
