A (very poor) seventies
still of the Walkers Tussauds rear exit. Wes Walker says: "This
photograph illustrates why we always chose to restore highly
characteristic old properties and 'scheduled monuments' -
exhibitions in architecturally perfunctory, contemporary premises
did not best suit. Very little scope for creating the right
atmosphere."
