UPDATE So, while in England<\/a> Alba<\/a> and I visited the site where the photo for\u00a0the cover<\/a> of the Ziggy Stardust<\/a> album was taken.<\/p>\n Here is the original. It took us a bit of time to find it. We were wandering around holding the picture above, squinting at all the building facades, when a helpful passerby said “It’s over there.” I think he worked there and must have been used to seeing people hunt for this landmark.<\/p>\n This is from the end of the street. You can see the site on the right-hand side of the street. On the building at the end of the street (which is The Living Room<\/a>), note the wood framing over the first floor and the side-by-side rectangular windows at the top of the building. You can see those very clearly in the album cover. Strangely enough, what Graham told me<\/a> didn’t really jibe with what we saw – the site does not really appear to be part of the building that houses The Living Room.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Here is a sideway view of the building, looking to the right corner. It’s not clear which doorway the picture was taken from.<\/p>\n
\nThis cover from the Ziggy Stardust Cover Contest<\/a> really shows how the cover relates to the scene now. Apologies for not giving props to whoever created this – it’s not listed on the site that I could fine. Hi-C, thanks for pointing this out to me!!
