This is a popular spot for lonely shoes and also homeless people. It’s away from the main shopping street where people who don’t have money to spend are moved on from. There is a can of antiperspirant in one of the shoes, which may have been left as a gift? Or maybe something to do with the shoes being too good to put in the bin but smelt too bad to keep?

To be fair I didn’t take a sniff, just a picture as usual and controversially as ever – both shoes have a companion – so are they even lonely at all?
