    The best clue might be in the reflection, a blue letter A last letter in a short name.

    Going by the map when you zoom in on it it seems to be the butchers down be BPM with no meat in it.

    Fairly certain that's it alright. Seems about the right size and all.

    Pretty sure that is Tom Phelan in pic. Georges St wouldn't have been pedestrianised in 1972 and if you look down Georges St from John Roberts Sq towards Shaws, Phelans would have been on your left, so that might add up
