Taken from the same place as Image] the differences are significant. The gable end incorporated into the apartments on the right bank of the canal may be original (though Chris Allen Image] suggests not), but nothing else remains. A complete transformation from industrial to residential. The Bedford High school alumni from the original picture are probably all grandparents now!
