Angel and Devils

the angel is from the top of the South African War memorial in the Haymarket. This photo is from 1975 when she was taken away for restoration during the building of the Tyneside Metro station below. Now fully restored (with a new body and fibreglass wings!) she holds a sword in the left hand and a laurel garland in the right. In the background are the Plough public house, which closed in 1976, and the ABC Haymarket cinema. The whole block was demolished in 1985

@cigcardpix Superb info. Thanks. @Ekfrasis Hey, I hadn't spotted that. Good eye, yourself! This now accounts for the title change.

A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?
