The following photos were in a collection owned by the late Gordon Dinnie. His wife Senga graciously allowed them to be copied and viewed here in Gordon's memory for all to see and enjoy.

A lot of them were taken around the time the area was being redeveloped in the early 1960s and we owe a thanks to Gordon who probably was the photographer who captured these images.
