And look at those two cars...both in the traffic jam!
I bet the road behind them  is clear up to Sandleford Hospital.

Over the years developers have really had a cracking go at buggering up Bartholomew Street.  Flattening old buildings for a bus station/Sainsburys car park and not to mention the wonderful Pearl Assurance house building/complex/sh*thole.  Good job the councils of today would not let anything like this happen
