I'm not sure of the year that the buildings were demolished Caron, but do you remember the Embassy Cinema - it was somewhere between the Viaduct and Haddon Place an initially became a suburban Woolworths after the "flicks" finished.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

Caron - is this the bridge? I've found a few pictures of the Milford Place area on Leodis, but not a good one of the street itself.

I think I was still in the middle of posting the picture, Tilly. It was too large at first, so I had to reduce it. The text must have posted first, and then the picture, but I'm no technology expert!
