DeleteIf it is morning to early afternoon, you are looking east, according to the sunlight on the stall roofs. Hope that is helpful. I was really drawn to this wonderful image.

That sounds right Tom - that would mean that the street at the end there is Reynold St. All those buildings on the left have disappeared and are where the Clarendon Shopping Centre now stands.
ReplyDeleteDownsie21 says: Yes Tom, it is taken from the White Lion. The three storey building at the end of the row is the Norfolk Arms and the street beyond that is Norfolk St. running off Reynold St.
ReplyDeleteNice one. I love these old photos. Your clock goes well too, Gerald.
ReplyDeleteWell Gerald... there is a post or two about the Norfolk Arms, My mother lived on Norfolk Street before her family moved to Hamnett Street at the side of Woolies
ReplyDeleteI have a picture looking in the same direction, but the old market hall is on there. When was that built then? I remember it as a child so it mustn't have been demolished until the shopping centre was built, but I can't remember when that was either.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good holiday in NZ, downsie21!
The Town Hall is to the right of the market.
ReplyDeleteJust for posterity - the pawn shop later owned by Mr Meal is in the top centre before the Norfolk Arms. The boat swings were later moved to the left of where they are shown - Barlow Family?
