HI Lynn
first of all thats a cracking picture a nice sharp one .yes they are pumping the cellar out
and you say your folks are there , that as to be a gem to your self keep .
secondly ;lynn; i said it was around the 55-57 era when i seen that report it was slightly later
it would slightly in the early 60,s -61 . era it was after my father died i travelled that way nightly
other wise i would not recall or passing that spot so i was wrong to check the sunday mercury for that period
it was the later date and on a sunday evening i passed throughthat spot
and i remember the cobble stones nd when they built that bit of a catholic schol for infants by nuns
and i know orininaly it was started by nuns because i had my three little nippes at the tim start there as a temperarary measure
thirdly now you have jogged my memory it was the corner of villa st ; the rd i could not think off ;thank you
and as you pointed out when coming to the corner ofvilla street turn towrds the brook that row of housesbefore that building they made a little nursery they called that section as part of nursery rd and i beleive thats why later nursery rd became it was at one time gerrard st all the way down to farm street
i will not forget the question of that horse and cart i hope in he next couple of weeks to get to central
and i will spend the day at the libary scouring for the pic ,
i am a person whom as the bone between my teeth i will not let go even in dicussion with people
i go away and i come back and say to them .do you remember that so and so
any way lynn please keep your teaser coming it a good way of getting the old grey matter ticking over
