    I would bother with these images tbh since the bottom one is clearly cutting out an unknown amount of the built-up centre…

      Sorry about that; these were just random images of the right place/times from a low-effort web search. I remember seeing a side-by-side comparison somebody made that was better, but I couldn’t find it again. (I could only find side-by-sides of 1978 vs 2011, when they started removing the parking lots and filling it back in.)

        Fair enough, but it’s hard to tell unless the comparative images are from sufficiently-similar angles
