Along with River and others, here are my hopefully previously unused photos.
This was a bit of a mystery but I've worked it out to be a 1958 Fiat 1100 Millecento. I don't remember even hearing about that model, let alone seeing one. They were sold in the UK, and is quite an attractive car for 1958. There is much work to be done here.
In keeping with the heritage appearance of this building, isn't that the most discreet McDonalds' signage you've ever seen. Just a single small yellow M (I found in another photo there is another discreet M).
Maybe one of these bricked up openings of the former warehouse was a hay loft for horse food.
The sign reads www.dutchcargobike.com.au. Perfect for transporting your new born.
Milk bars here were what you now might call a convenience store. I think in New Zealand they were called a dairy. Amy?
I quite like visiting Werribee by train. The train flies along at 115/71 at times, the maximum speed for suburban trains, for ten kilometres between Newport and Laverton Stations
What is in behind the shops in the main street? A river, a rather green river.
Guess what the river is called. Would you be surprised if I said Werribee River.
Work by Phyllis. There is a Tap sign on the kitchen tap because you would never guess it is a tap. I've never heard it called snail tape. Calling it Durex fell out of favour for certain reasons. I call it sticky tape.
An underground public toilet in Carlton, now closed and I assume filled in.
Perhaps the classiest stink pipe you will ever see, used for the toilet's ventilation.
I wish the Minster for Public Transport would get out on trams a bit more and she may experience the worst examples of all over advertising. Fortunately it has been banned on trains, and should be banned from tram and bus windows.
Yes indeed, convenience shops in NZ are called a dairy, no idea why, lol. I love researching old buildings. And oh I am drooling over the car, have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteMaybe dairys often branched out selling other things
