The first three buildings made way for Madame Tussauds. And the Pull and Bear building, of course, wasn't there then either.

The handcarts, the man with straw hat, the woman who has been shopping with a wicker basket, the hats and most of the buildings. Time has caught up with everything. Although, everything?
