John Oram's photos with the keyword: Central Hall

Since I took my photographs on 4 January, the view to Central Hall from East Street in Southampton has become less obstructed. I have learned that the Morrisons will not fill the space to the extent that East Street Shopping Centre did. There will be a partial view of Central Hall and a walking route to the St. Mary's ground (Southampton FC). The walking route was previously through the shopping centre. Afternoon sunshine aided a composition which tries to capture something of the character of the end of East Street. I waited a long time for this shot as a white van was illegally parked on the yellow lines to the left. 200_P1000285

Afternoon sunshine and puddles from recent rainfall aided a composition which tries to capture something of the character of the end of East Street. 200_P1000282

Only two days ago when I photographed nearby Lime Street, the remaining facade of East Street Shopping Centre was still in place. Today, its subsequent demolition reveals a temporary view from East Street of Southampton's Central Hall previously obscured by the shopping centre and eventually, one presumes, to be obscured again by the Morrisons supermarket scheduled to be built on this site. Clearance of the site is now nearly complete and the new store is due to open by the end of 2014. 200_P1010488
