Looking from the Houtkoopersburgwal to the Oudeschans and the little bridge left is the Snoekjes bridge in front of the Kromboomsloot in 1967. On the right still the installation for garbage transport by boat, in use until the seventies. The tower just left of the middle is the one from the old church.
Picture from the amsterdam city archive of the place where I was standing during the demolition. Here you see clearly the tower of the Zuider church. Today this is the domain of Theaterschool of Amsterdam part of the Amsterdam University of the Arts.
An old map showing all the streets and houses now disappeared.
And the situation today.
Your photo collection gone beyond mere pictures. You have preserved a piece of history.
