I might be wrong but isn't that "Jack To-Morrow's" Chemist shop just emerging from the top of the cap of the gentleman on the left of the photo? Fantastic to "see" these buildings again as they once were. Thanks for posting the past visual history of this area.

Well "Jack To-Morrow's" Chemist shop was located in the buildings shown, so you are probably correct.
