Harry got Duke’s Shoes!

Thanks for this!

If memory serves, the Duke’s Shoes ghost sign is on Sheppard Street, I think-oooh, (squinting to remember) between Grace and Broad. I think.

I have to admit, too, that the Virgin Mary statue has me stumped. I’d guess near Benedictine?

The location of that temperature gauge likewise has my brow furrowed.
