Rather more entrancing

Re "Entranced", I just unearthed pictures of the market's entrances taken just last year and I thought you might like to see them for comparison.

Here's the east end of Turnpin Lane:

Blighted by Frank the Yank's doors (not a problem when it was the Cricketers - see below) of course, but still a whole lot more inviting. Note the Greenwich Market sign above Frank's doors.

The Nelson Road entrance has Warwick Leadlay in place and the signs from hell missing:

Shame about the Teddy Bear shop - another victim of rising rents? Even in its closed state it still looks better than the Biscuit mess.

The College Approach entrance looks rather approachable:

Again, note the Greenwich Market sign between the two leftmost columns. A duplicate of the one above the Cricketers/Powder Monkey it helped people at the end of the street to spot the market. No misleading banner and no pall of greasy smoke either.

As promised, here's a picture of the Cricketers, with inward opening doors, before Frank the Yank got his hands on it:

Makes for a better entrance to the market, doesn't it?

By the way, how the hell did Frank the Yank get away with fitting outward opening doors?
