Granville Street

This slightly claustrophobic bit of Victorian town planning could be an opera set, Rossini perhaps. It's just asking for a sash window to be thrown up and somebody to belt out an aria. The grand facade of the Mitchell Library (built as St Andrew's concert hall) looks at two neat and distinct tenement blocks, with a pleasing warehouse conversion at the back.

 

It would be great if the powers-that-be would ban cars here and make this a people place. And are all those road arrows strictly necessary?

 

The lads have probably just left the back-packers' hostel further up the street.
