Park Row at this time was a grand street full of banks and insurance companys. It still has some of that but is now more a home to bars and 'nightlife'. Becketts Bank (large building on right) is now the name of a Wetherspoons in a different building on the other side of the street. St. Anns RC cathedral is no longer there (moved to a site further back at the turn of the century) and the site is now the Radisson Blue popular with Nelsonians as accomodation for the album launches.
That has the feel of Monet in London.
