Ooh ... I visited there way back when. Down where that bike is parked there was a coin-operated cigarette machine. And they sold Benson & Hedges ciggies (which were the passwords that the hackers had chosen). Sends me way back, Belter.

Wanna really nerd out, here's the Grateful Dead show Cliff cut out of hacker chasing to go attend: https://archive.org/details/gd86-06-21.sbd.brame.15406.sbeok...

"A bass guitar note took my attention from the hacker’s trail.
The Grateful Dead were playing outdoors at the Berkeley Greek Theater,
only a hundred yards downhill from the lab. The police couldn’t keep people
from sitting in the field overlooking the concert, so I skipped over there,
mingling with a thousand others in tie-dyed shirts. Burnt-out panhandlers,
left over from the sixties, walked the crowd, begging tickets and selling posters,
buttons, and grass. The drum solo in the second set echoed from Strawberry Canyon,
adding a weird backbeat appreciated only by us cheapskates in the fields.
Life was full: no hacker is worth missing a Dead concert for..."

Complete agreement — wouldn’t miss a Dead concert for anything.
Hmmm - I seem to be agreeing with myself. I tend to do that, occasionally.
Next time I am in Hannover will have to take a photo in front of the flat. It got a repaint though...
