Well I'm sure Willi will appreciate it too but I love seeing old photos and being able to relate to them. I vaguely remember Elephant St and yet there are those younger than us who doubt it ever existed. I walked along it once on my way to a dance at a youth club and it's just really lovely to bring back the memories.
I took this photo today of where Elephant Street no longer is. This is now part of St. Leger Court which covers the whole of that area on the side of Plantation Street between Abbey Street and Cobham Road.
