By day, young families frequent its cafes, while customers browse the tempting wares on display in its diverse range of shops.
As night draws in, students from across the city are drawn to its many pubs, bars and restaurants.

They capture pubs, clubs, shops and other businesses along the famous street during the 60s and 70s.
