A very familiar view for those who haunted the King’s Road in the mid-70s" Paul Gorman {The Life and times of Malcolm McLaren}

Kings Road, here:

"This would have been when JS was living in the World's End estate - The Man In The Moon was his local as it was many others such as Marianne Faithfull (who I saw in there often).

Johnson’s opened at 406 at the top of the parade in summer 1978 - that was another draw, as was Emperor of Wyoming in the same parade and of course Seditionaries around the corner." Paul Gorman

184 Portobello Road:

... the photo shoot was from September 15, 1999, on the occasion of the promo of Strummer’s album "Rock Art and the X-ray Style" with The Mescaleros.

Joe, at the right place:

The photo of Joe Strummer is from 1985

The Big Audio Dynamite is from 1984.

So Mick Jones lived here in 1985...

There is a touching moment near the end of The Rise and Fall of The Clash. In a denoucement worthy of a romantic comedy, Strummer, having suddenly realized he was mistaken to trust Rhodes and that Mick Jones had been his true and honest mate all along, rushes to Jones’s house and finds his former bandmate waiting for a cab to the airport. They share a spliff, Strummer jumps in Jones’s cab, and together they fly to Nassau. Jones wouldn’t come back into the Clash, because he’d formed Big Audio Dynamite, but Strummer and Jones would collaborate on BAD’s second album No. 10, Upping St.

Joe is in Granada,Spain in 1984 with the Alhambra Palace behind him.

To have this view,he was exactly at the Mirador (belvedere) San Nicolas:

"We were recording at Marcus Music in Kensington - Radio Clash, Sean Flynn, Car Jammin'.

On 27th we went off on the 'Impossible Mission' European tour. Joe had run the marathon so was in pretty good shape.

One Sunday we went to Hyde Park and had a game of footer." The Baker...

"As I remember, it was in the north-west corner of Hyde Park. I remember getting a parking space on the Bayswater Rd. It was the closest bit of park to where they all lived - Ladroke Grove, Westbourne Pk etc.

I'm sure someone will swear it was Regents Park though..." The Baker

Unfortunately the blurred photo makes it difficult to pinpoint the park with 100% accuracy but I'm sure it's Court Square Park. The tall building in the background is the Sterrick Building, and the tall building on the right is the Exchange Building. The Exchange Building is just across the street from Court Square. In your photo it's definitely next to the park. The Fourth Bluff Park is two blocks away and at a lower elevation, so it's not likely that you'd be able to see the Exchange Building from that park. And the Sterrick Building would be more blocked with other buildings from Fourth Bluff Park.

I haven't seen that sculpture before. Do you have any information on it?

From the article of Memphis Magazine:

Apparently the professor was right. As crews from the National Ornamental Metal Museum began to carefully cut and dismantle the piece, one instrument at a time, the whole thing snapped in half, tumbling to the ground and slightly injuring one of the workers. It's amazing no one was killed.

All the pieces were eventually scooped up and stored in a warehouse somewhere, but Metal Museum experts said it would cost almost $100,000 to repair it — essentially rebuild the whole thing — so the various pieces of Ascent of the Blues just gathered dust.

Years ago, I contacted the museum to see if they had it, or knew where it was. I got a "no" to both questions. "If we did, the piece would already have been installed somewhere," said Carissa Hussong, museum director. "I tried to find it when I was the director of the UrbanArt Commission. My guess is that the piece was scrapped by someone who had no idea what it was, or why it was in storage."

The background is exactly the entrance and the windows of this building (see the red arrows), confirming the location:

"That is a view of the southern side of the King’s Road taken from the island outside The Man In The Moon (the white building in the second pic attached) and the parade of shops which housed Johnson’s at 406 among others.
