Restoring Art Works

During the war, the tunnels of Piccadilly Circus were used to store expensive works of art from the London museums and galleries, unknown to anyone until they were unearthed after the war. Here an old photograph shows them being carried out during rush hour, and note the guy carrying this expensive artwork .. with a lit cigarette in his hand!!
