I was looking for some old pictures of where we live here in Brisbane for someone this week and came across this old photo. It is of the centre of what is now our shopping street in our local suburb. The year was 1908, not the Middle Ages, although it appears really ancient. Today it is one large four lane road, no trams, a major thoroughfare here in the inner north of the city. Streets where we lived in Utrecht in 2004 looked just like they did in 1908, even 1888. Some Utrecht streets looked like they do today back in the 16th century. In two weeks time we see here the unveiling of the new streetscape plans for the terminus area of what is Sandgate Road Clayfield 2007. I'm on the committee and I'll keep you informed of the new plans to freshen up our area. Oh, this picture below is taken from our street corner looking down Sandgate Road towards the old terminus. The awning on the left still survives to this very day. Of the rest I can't be sure. This was taken in 1921.
