Nice pic
Its wierd to think that once that was a busy road with people living their lives. but its nice to see it still marked even if the houses are gone.
Ruby St, Dingle has been truncated to a short length of road alongside the pub. There is a new Ruby Street around the corner. The original Ruby St along with parallel Emerald st and Nestor St have been demolished and the land converted into parkland and a children's play area.
There are several streets off Breck rd which have had houses demolished and the streets cut short:
Fowler st.
Hunt st.
Bulwer st.
Windermere st.

I remember all those streets lindy when they were long play streets. Twas my old stomping ground fine job you did on them.
Yeah, it doesn't seem all that long ago that they were busy streets with families living in them.

This was a short street coming off Cockburn St, Dingle. All that's left are the curb edging stones which now lead to a pathway into Dingle Park. In the background is Homer Street, also truncated but still existing with a street name, albeit unadopted.
Hello.Sorry if this is in the wrong spot,but seeing all the old streets i wonderd if anyone knew were or what this address is thanks all.Love this boad.Ted
I thought so but I recall driving through that area in 2006 and seeing some v. old houses on what would/should/could have been Harrowby Street but I wasn't 100% sure where I was at the time. They were in a small row by themselves, maybe six or eight old terraced houses. I'm real interested to know if any of the original 2/3 story terraced town houses still exist in that area.
I don't know if it's still intact, but I walked down Granby Street last week and it's still there.
I was checking out Granby Street/Rosebery Street corner, because the Prince's cinema used to be there, and Rosebery Street doesn't exist now, but there is a footpath going through what used to be it.
Derby St off Canterbury St is now just a short piece of road with the once cherished terraced houses long since demolished and not replaced. It is sited in the "under the bridge" area once called perhaps more appropriately "beyond the bridge"
The newer property on Canterbury St abuts onto Derby St and was the site of the Welsh Presbyterian Church's Bethel Chapel Mission Hall
