A man in the close is repairing nets. Newhaven fishmarket can be seen at the end of the close
Very unique photo!

ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Queens, my Tibetten neighbour across the garbage shaft in our walk up used to hang his meat raw on the clothes line. I never did know why but I assumed it must be Tibetten thing. I also saw him squatting on the floor grinding some food with old fashioned mortar and pistil.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you lived in a flat Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteNever seen that before, excellent.
ReplyDeleteYes, Darran Hughes Known as an apartment in New York and a suite in Canada. Older apartment buildings in New York are brick, about five stories high, no elevators (thus their common name: walk ups), and all with these odd shafts in their centres to satisfy some fresh air bylaw of the past. It is because of the shafts that there is so little privacy; we would gaze across them into each other's windows.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Charlotte.
