I used to live in Utrecht several years ago now, and am trying to work out if this view is looking east or west along the canal... Can anyone help me work it out? Where's the present day post office in relation to these buildings? thanks :-)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called De Utrechtse Domtoren, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I guess the picture was taken somewhere near the actual Lange Viestraat/Potterstraat; the post office is on the left - looking to the (south-)east.

Fine line: You are looking east. The building on the left-front is nowadays the MacDonalds. The street next to it gets you to 'de Neude' which is the square in front of the (former) post office. The white building in the back middle is the town hall. the bridge in the front has the merchants selling their flowers on Saturday. The second building on the right is now departmentstore HEMA.

Fanstatic!!!

Really an excellent, interesting, and beautiful shot!

I remember 1948 in Newcastle upon Tyne, when everything was drab after the War. This photo of Gothenburg is colourful. Life before a forest of road signs and double-yellow lines. Today there is probably a law against eating ice-cream while riding a bike.

The man was carring a coffee in his hand while cicling :)

Aliera29 I remember in the 1940s there was ice cream in a cardboard cup, with a small wooden spoon. I cannot remember take-away coffee in those days. That came later. Or maybe Sweden was well ahead of Britain then.
