I wrote about the vanished gun shops of Centre Market Place back in 2011--trust me, it's a fascinating bit of history.
The Sile sign was the last remnant of the gun district. These little things. They matter in the psychogeography of the city.

What a great history that is. I haven't been there in the better part of a decade but when I last visited it definitely still had a vestigial feel of the Weegee days and the police headquarters.
