Fake 34

A shot at dusk of the former Debenhams building in Wigmore Street. I feel sure that I have reported the heritage story of a talkative gentleman on the desk, but have not found it yet. A heritage story which turned out to be based on the truth rather than being nothing but the truth. Perhaps I will be able to find it later.

With the snap being included with the fakes because of the way that the stone frontage stops at the front, with this exposed side clearly being something else. With the extra accommodation which has been added on top being cunningly terraced so that most of it cannot be seen if you stand opposite the central tower on the other side of the road.

I also take the opportunity to post an update on fake 29 of reference 1. The dining area at Chessington Garden Centre was busy late lunchtime today (Saturday), but we were able to sit close enough to the fire to see that the fire was indeed, as suspected, a film on a computer screen, perhaps because some visiting child had pushed it back a bit, enabling one to see the screen surround.

PS: later, after a snooze: the heritage story has now turned up at reference 2, via a second route. But I remain puzzled as to why the first route did not work. Nothing so banal as upper versus lower case or a misspelling of Debenhams.
