begin page 3 | ↑ back to topAs a postscript to his item in Newsletter 3 concerning the transformation of no. 17 South Molton Street to a betting shop, Robert P. Kolker notes that the Guardian editorialized on the subject in its issue of 25 January 1968. The editorial concludes: “Not that a decision on the licensing appeal one way or the other can diminish the words Blake wrote or the pictures he painted. Whether it can diminish us is another matter.”
