Behind the scenes

We'd like to know where this burger bar is - or was.

We have zoomed right in on the reflection in the glass, then reversed the image, which produces:

Paul Hogwood is still in Colombo Street, so for this to appear as a reflection in the glass, we think the boys must have been standing diagonally opposite - perhaps on the corner of Colombo and King Streets, right where KFC is now located.

Do you remember there being a burger bar there? Or are we miles off course with this?

We really would like to hear from you if you can remember this corner of Sydenham in the 1980s.
