The location was Bloblands (Norwood Park), I think, not Cantelowes, but the resemblance otherwise is bizarre. OK: it&#8217;s not quite in the same league as the The Observer and The Sunday Times using the same tennis cover-shot on the same day, but it&#8217;s still an unlikely coincidence.<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wurzel featured on the cover of Issue 84 of R.a.D Magazine at the start of 1990, in a crisp winter&#8217;s shot from Cantelowes.
