Waiting for a Customer

Waiting for a customer. Sadly this warehouse has, like many others, been pulled down and replaced with “luxury housing”. I used to love rooting around in the many warehouses on Cheshire street: full of characters and bargains; a second hand dreamland.

Sam was my former neighbour. A jewish refugee from Poland. A polite man who would like to gently complain about the changeing world around him.
