I took this photograph in Sheffield, forty-odd years ago. Could you take a similar photo now? The bin will certainly be gone, replaced by some overgrown plastic box. I'm not sure about the stairs and the railings. Today's photo would be digital, and, by default, in full colour - and that would somehow change the scene. Let's not pretend that black and white was more realistic; it wasn't. The lack of colour did, however, concentrate the eye and the mind.
