hi Ron and Marg, I interpreted "Hatton Garden" as "Hatton Gardens" of
Holborn?...the one that is now a Jewellers street with many diamond
shops...one street over from Saffron Hill? Do I have the wrong
one?..it's fine as I remember, but today not a "garden"...buildings
right up to the public sidewalk. The one I am thinking of is near
Faringdon station. Liz
