Nice picture, Mez, but it must have been 1962 at the earliest as the "new" market was finished until then. Atarah used to have a cutting from the Observer on her site showing a picture of the foundations being laid in October 1961.

I must say, Mez does like to get into fancy dress. There she was last week at the Stag & now here she is in 1962 outside the ciggy kiosk. What, I wonder, was the occaision?
