During the day it was a necessary pedestrian walkthrough - planning meant you had to walk quite a way to cross the road otherwise. There were few people there during the day, but Grandad told us we could never give them money, because they would spend it on things that were bad for them. But that we should look them in the eye and shake out heads, raher than ignore them, because many of them had fought in the War (WWII) and couldn't help themselves.
