Broad Court, Covent Garden WC2
Looking towards Bow Street, with the fly tower of the Royal Opera House looming large. In the late 1960s I shared a flat in No 17 Broad Court, right, when the Covent Garden fruit, vegetable and flower markets thrived here. They operated at night: the streets would be brightly lit, colourful and noisy, thronged with porters, barrows and drivers. At the front the (guessing) Edwardian flats looked out on some Peabody Buildings and a 5-a-side pitch. At the back the kitchens had small balconies. From there one could look into the backs of offices in Long Acre, including the offices of the Sporting Life newspaper. Bow Street saw some excitement because the busy magistrates' court was there then. Just up Drury Lane was the original J.Sainsbury, and I don't recall it being a supermarket. Handy spot: could walk to work.

67-76 Long Acre
Nos. 67-68 is stuccoed mid-C19th, the more interesting and stripy nos. 69-76 was built in 1887 by W.S. Witherington as Woodfall & Kinder's print works.
Now flats, shops and offices, the printing industry long since having left the area.

What's that man doing behind the phone box... oh... deary me... he's actually peeing.
These were my thoughts when I took the photo.
