This is a shot of Markham St in the Mirvish Village development on the old Honest Ed's site. Ed's store was where the new buildings are but he also owned all of these old Victorian house that were rented out as studios, shops and restaurants all at reasonable rental rates. The houses are being restored and a few are again occupied. The building on the right was a pub before and now is open as a restaurant with a small patio out front. We have to wait to see what the others become.

Love these red bricks
Very attractive and a nice refuge from the tower blocks.
What a contrast between old and new here.
It's interesting to know what's coming up.
Ein großer Kontrast zwischen den Hochhäusern und den Ziegelhäusern, die so viel Gemütlichkeit ausstrahlen. Hoffentlich bleiben sie noch lange erhalten.
I love the contrast between the beautiful brick houses and all that glass and steel.
