These photos have been really interesting to look at. It just goes to show that what seem to be boring photos at the time can become an archive in the future. More please.

Vic, it was Mesnes Terrace. Have a look at this, you can just about make out the street sign.

Vic, If you are talking 1960's I'm sure it was called Back Mesnes Street. Conroy's the fruit people, Halbro sports clothing and Roger Bolton's Iron Foundry had premises down Back Mesnes Street.
