Hoods Hardware

Hi Alan,

I've taken Lyn's Google Street View pic of the canal bridge near Fleet Street and marked in red the building called Fleet Kitchen which I think has replaced the original Hoods building at 63 Summer Row on the corner of Fleet Street. My second Google Street View picture shows the same building on the corner of Fleet Street as well as the canal bridge taken from the opposite direction. I'm off to bed now because it is 1:00am here in Crete and will catch up with you tomorrow.

Alan,

I've blown up the left hand side of picture 2 and although not very good quality, you can just about read the Fleet Kitchen lettering on the front of the new building and see the old canal bridge brickwork to the left of this.
