Newspaper vendors sellers

I showed a heavily cropped version of this newspaper seller in #1952 but we weren't sure where in the city centre he was located. Near Snow Hill station was the best bet. I have just found the negative so I am showing an uncropped version. The bus going past is a number 22 to Kitwell. The photograph was taken in the 1980s. Dave.

Another Evening Mail newspaper stand but I think at a different location from the one above. Again, the 1980s. The chap looks like a doorman from a hotel. The headline that day stated: Aid Plane Blasted; 5 die. Dave.

...we have Temple Row, next to the churchyard, somewhere else that has changed ........ n the corner is a newspaper seller with his little stand but not one of the fortunate ones who had a roof though.
