I can almost see Phil Mitchell in the arches.

Funnily enough, though not Phil, I found this picture on Flickr.. So what you might say, well, the gent on the right is my Uncle, & those were his arches (in Bethnal Green) for a couple of decades. I helped him when he gave them up in the early 90`s (because the rent quadrupled in a matter of a few years). You would not believe the amount of cars, taxi`s & parts he had in there (he had 5 arches, & a yard behind them). It was a huge operation to clear them. The parts alone (mainly NOS panels) would be worth over 100k now, but, 99% of them went for scrap..

No flying pig though. The PF album Animals now 46 years ago. View now unrepeatable because of many new developments.

Station went offline finally in 1983. New development just completed.

That pig got loose. I was at school on the day and we could see it floating about South London from the top floor of the classroom block. nI went to W H Smiths when the album was released and got a copy.
