Re: Railway Terrace
How terribly sad -all so very young.
Used to live in a little village on the River Po called Arena Po where a whole generation of children died in the 1950's with their teachers and the local priest at the annual picnic -they were all drowned when drawn into a whirlpool on the river...life is full of terrible incidents like this.

Re: Railway Terrace
Bob,
Thanks for your PM. I've tried to reply three times but my sent-box is empty. Did you get any of them? |

Re: Railway Terrace
This would appear to be the aftermath of the fire.

Re: Railway Terrace
My grandparents always referred to part of Eagle St (from Blackburn Rd to Paradise St) as Railway Road.
