This week’s pictures from Chris Porsz have a Christmas theme and one of them is a festive mystery.

Chris told me: “I have searched for years to find out who was this girl outside Brown’s butchers in Westgate in the early eighties.

“I hope PT readers can solve the mystery so that I can include her in my new book Reunions the sequel.”

This week’s other pictures are of Cathedral Square – one taken from the Guildhall and the other from the athedral gates.

Chris said: “It’s great to see we have a real tree again as it reminds me of Christmas past on Cathedral Square. Although we actually had five trees back them!”

Chris has just published a new book about the NHS called Just Be Kind. 
It will be available outside the hospital’s main entrance on December 3, 4, 8 and 9 and from his website. 
Part of the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research.
