Phoenix from the ashes [photo]

The rebuilt Co-op building in Tottenham is taking shape

****** 

Two and a half years I ago I snapped this photo as I was passing.

Photo by me on Flickr taken Feb 2011. Click to view and read reactions. Many people searched for a before picture in August 2011. Strangely enough, I had one of the few pictures of it on my photostream.

A few months later in August, the building became a symbol for the riots that engulfed Tottenham.

A month later in September it was gone.

It did feel good to see it back yesterday.
