One wonders why the photographer took these three very mundane photographs and what sale he anticipated getting. However, 50 or more years later, they are of interest as showing the changes that have taken place.
Looking up St John’s Road, towards the Church in 1912. Built in the spacious Victorian days, the road cannot be found in any street directories until the 1900’s. They were the stables for the mansions of Adelaide Crescent, Palmeira Square and First Avenue. Coachmen and grooms lived over the stables. In one of the buildings on the left, rings to which the horses were tethered can still be seen in the walls, now in 1975.
