This is embarrassingly nerdy, but I thought you might be interested in
my collection of 'Leicester Then & Now' photos. I find the old pictures fascinating, and the side-by-side comparisons reveal the following:
- That street space has become highly segregated, with clear divisions between pedestrians, motor vehicles and cyclists.
- Thinking that the city centre has been pedestrianised over the last few years is a mistake. In fact it has been repedestrianised
- The amount of clutter (signs, posts, awnings etc) is roughly the same
