More about this scene
To conclude this chapter, I have chosen a photograph unrelated to our route as something of a curiosity. Just off Lincoln's Inn Fields, a small corner building is dwarfed by its neighbours (even more so now - the right-hand building has been demolished and replaced by nine-storey buildings of 1970). This building survives because it is thought to be the premises of Little Nell's grandfather in Charles Dickens's novel 'The Old Curiosity Shop'. This fame secured its survival; it now appears to sell clothes and shoes.
