We had a cup of coffee in a café with an idiosyncratic loo where we were very glad to warm up.   There is a special portaloo at Ezra Street for visitors to the market.   Ezra Street is under a lot of blue pins to the right off Ravenscroft Street.  

Circus Space on Ezra Street is the UK's premier Circus school, providing a BA Hons degree in Circus Arts.   Worth another visit!

COLUMBIA SCHOOL - mosaics by Carina Wyatt and Cathy Ludlow.   The flowers panel was made by the nursery children.   Project completed in May 2006   People had parked in front of two of panels which spoiled the symmetry of this presentation.   Horsetails on the left
