Many of the oral interviewees have commented on how Burley's shops have changed to reflect the influx of new residents from all over the world, as well as new local businesses and increased numbers of University students. One of the most recent additions to Burley is the Lahore cafe, on the corner with Burley Road - project staff and volunteers confess to eating there quite a lot!!

Compare the photo above with the one below - taken just a few streets away - around 100 years ago!
