Don Dan Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Once again some fantastic photos which jog the memory. I had a look through the Robert Bloomfield works some really great photos in that work collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain that the street running diagonally up left is Brunswick Street, with Brunswick Road back left and McDonald road back right. Iona and Dalmeny streets are a good two/three blocks back down the walk from where the photo is taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, I was looking at it being McDonald road in the picture but that would be to the right of the bus , so yeah could well be Brunswick road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bus uses Fillyside Road today so that area might have been completely different then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was looking for old pictures last night I came across some facts about the old airport, I think it was operating 8 times over capacity in 72 and they didn’t move to the other side of the runway until 77.

The garage in front of the shopping centre would be up the hill, roughly in the direction the girl in the dark coat is facing. The paths there have changed since they opened up the canal, and the area is not quite overgrown, so a google streetview pic would be useless.
