Sunny Packington Street
The residential side of the street faces south-west. I lived here for a few weeks one autumn in my student days, and remember the strong late-afternoon sunlight. At such times there'd be a spectacular view over the City from the upper floors. The glazed towers would seem to light up - though in those days there were just a few of them, and they were modest in scale.

The 'long reach machine with muncher attachment' is here taking a lunchtime rest; when it is working a high pressure jet is directed towards the work area to reduce dust.
