Lower Temple Street

Great photo. Judging by the condition of the Shak(e)speare it's no wonder the excavation of buildings near to Welch's made others unstable. They were probably holding each other up ! Lots of subsidence in evidence at the Shak(e)spear.

We often express sadness that old buildings disappear, but many early buildings weren't originally well built and I expect could become high-risk Add to that susidence and there's a good case made for demolition.
