Times change, of course, and places you used to frequent as a child no longer exist. This building used to be a butcher shop and I have many memories being sent there to buy minute steak and waiting for Mr Bradley to cut it up and wrap it in brown paper. It is a real estate agency now.
This used to be a barber shop and will soon be torn down for redevelopment. It was lovely inside with a wall of mirror, marble shelf and coloured bottles.
This house was built about 1908 and was much fancier at that time with upper and lower verandas. It used to hold a pharmacy on the ground floor but no longer.
This is a convenience store and has been there all my life and well before. The building beside it used to be my grandfather's office. It was a tailor shop originally.
It's been great recording these buildings and thinking about their history.
