Yeah, I was brought up around this area. A bit of a no-mans-land as far as pictures go.

The view was indeed looking east up Falkner Street up past Grove Street and towards the Falkner Estate (now the site of the Womens Ozzy) up on towards Windsor Gardens, the factory that made biscuit dough, and Crown Street Coal yard. At the top of Falkner Street was a Marble Works (can't quite remember the name) but it was there for years - might have been called Wilsons). It was at the bottom of Overbury Street.



There was an Adventure Playground, which was basically a pile of rubble enclosed by a concrete wall and this had pictures of Super Heroes painted on the walls. This is now the site of the Abercromby Health centre.

Further up on the left was Myrtle House, Crown Street (with the old water fountain prominent on the road island) and St Saviours School.

Oh, the memories. Thanks for posting, its great la!
