A view taken on Grange Rd in the early 1900s. On the left is D McCaulay's Furniture Shop at number 38 Grange Rd.

Fascinating photo Norman, so many people going about their daily business.

The PDSA was down there for years and so was Conroy's furniture shop.

I am surprised at the number of flag poles on the building!
Was there a reason for this?

Could the flagpole be there for occasions like Empire Day and the like.

It had hardly changed in 1950.

Take away the clothing and the cart add a couple of cars and this is still how the area looked in the 50's.
The street was still cobbled all the way to the Hill St Bridge
