Post #10, I was just about to say that this picture from post #3 was Geach Street and found you have already mapped it Mike. At first I was puzzled as when I was a lad this is where they garaged milk carts, although my memory may be off target a bit. Any way I agree with Geach St

Are you posting the others Lyn?

You are dead right Lyn. God Bless our boys above the Clarke's house, something like no 37. A terrific photo but I've never seen it before. The cleared area is the corner of Geach Street where the bombed pub was that we used to play in

What were your famiy's names from Eden Place, Jim?
