2000 Main Street
Next, a couple of photos of Main Street from the year 2000. Looking west along the street, a busy scene with car parked on the street before the parking bays were added. The scene is quite familiar otherwise. And also, at that same location looking the opposite way. Do you remember McDade’s Licensed Grocers and […]

Former Stonefield Playpark

These swings, climbing frames and see-saws had been there for several decades, but by the Millennium , as you can see they had seen better days. In the background is Woodburn Avenue. This playpark was near the Station Road entrance […]
