This last week or so witnessed the closure of the Excelsior Hotel for redevelopment (in fact, for the record, it closed on the 31 March 2019). So I thought it was quite serendipitous that one of the locations from
Black Cobra Woman should be the former open rooftop restaurant and bar, "Talk of the Town". This is the "club" where Eva is employed as an exotic dancer and where she later goes for lunch with her new girlfriend, Gerr. The image below shows the view looking across Happy Valley towards Braemar Hill where you can see the (then) new high rises of Evelyn Towers.
It looks as though this roof top terrace was later blocked in by windows because the roof top now appears to be enclosed, perhaps to make it more weather friendly.
