Old: 185 Baker Street Lloyds bank

New: near a bakers

Nice one D & J!

Lloyds Bank on Baker Street then, scene of the UK's largest ever bank robbery. Thieves tunneled from two shops down and raided the bank on 13 September 1971.

What makes it particularly mysterious is that the government immediately slapped a D-Notice on the case, a measure normally reserved for threats to national security, preventing the papers from publishing anything about the crime. Indeed, scrawled inside the vaults were the words: "Let Sherlock Holmes try to solve this."

It has since been alleged that compromising photographs of Princess Margaret were also stolen from one of the safe boxes. Conspiracy theories predictably abound, mostly speculating whether this was in fact an inside-job made to look like a bank robbery, a central theme to the 2007 film about the heist 'The Bank Job'.

more info and the original walkie-talkie recordings between the look-out and the robbers-in-action here:

As any cricket fan will tell you the field where cricket was played before Lords was around here

Hm, now just how do you find a cricket fan? Didn't they die out some time ago?

I've got a guess in my head but can't be bothered to get out and check.

I know how you feel. I barely had the energy to nerg you. Found it somewhere, though.

I can hardly be bothered to type this post.
Nor could I be arsed to run round the park this morning so I didn't
Thought you'd all be interested

I really don't know anything about cricket, I was just trying to troll skydancer. :)

I really don't know anything about cricket,
well then you're perfectly placed to learn. For what do they know of cricket who only cricket know?

a strong Hackney link there . . .

Winds ofthe world give answer! They are whimpering to and fro - -
For what should they know of Hackney, who only Hackney know?

Indeed:

(Though this a slight detour from the current tag)
So to get back on track:

@trOllliverSchick, you of all people may appreciate the complexity and subtleties of the game, its contribution to enriching the English language, its rich cultural and social history, its pivotal role in revolutionising, professionalising and democratising sport

^yep and I can lend Oliver his^^ magnum opus if interested

A former costumier and furrier on White Conduit Street, just off Chapel Market, Angel. Excellent cricket facts there too skydancer.

Keeping with the furry theme...

... an unlikely place to find Smut, Drag and Scum

Nice one oat44

Just one thing:

A former costumier and furrier
It is still a furrier and costumier which opens occasionally and the owner (who lives upstairs) sits outside chatting with passers by and locals. Sunday morning it is often open which is when the farmers market runs.

On this little dead-end road is:
a small really cheap Chinese grocery selling some
a local greasy spoon with outside seating
An Thai restaurant serving cheap good food in cardboard boxes
a baker
and a public loo
