Thanks Colin! Great to see that old pic!! The garage door at right of picture was Logans Garage in the mid 1950's I drove taxis from there around about 1957-59, probably was the stable for the horse's in the earlier period as I remember that there were stall fastening , irons etc on the walls at the rear of the garage. Now taken over as part of Marantz restaurant I believe. I was living in Hadassah Grove (just opposite at the time.:PDT11
