Interesting picture of the Smithfield. Looks like smoke damage from some windows

Vandalism perhaps?

Three-element FM radio aerial on the roof, at first I thought it was an old 405-line TV aerial.

It does look like the old TV aerial a bit looks simular to a Sirio 4 element beam Dutchman it not a silver rod as I had one which looks nothing like that.

I made the same mistake with this picture of the Castle Hotel even though the aerial is clearly horizontal and not vertical! :clown:

Here's a rare view of the rear of the Smithfield in 1978, note Shambles Arcade to the left and Matterson's on the other side of the road:
