Tucked away near a dated shopping street, this small block of houses was a traditional oasis of colour and old school charm. There was also its narrow, stone paved pathway, which was an incredibly appealing little extra.
However, just like so many other spots, its time was always limited, and as more of the properties emptied, the more likely demolition became. And when it did eventually happen, the end was swift and stark, leaving behind an empty plot with no lasting remnants of the lives lived there whatsoever.

So sad………… 🙁
Lee says
Yeah, this one came as quite a shock.
Linda says
Oh no. You took me here. It was magical.
Lee says
It really was. There was so much to like and enjoy.
Richard says
All of the potted plants made it feel very homey. Then suddenly it is gone….as if these people, their homes, and their lives never existed. Very sad to me.
I hope they have family members who remember and honor them. Thank you for these photos!
Lee says
You are very welcome. Glad I got the chance to enjoy and photograph it. But yeah, to see it gone without trace is really quite shocking.

It is a beautiful thing to have recorded such moments before and after like this. Like Greg Girard you provide us with a lasting memory of times past. Valuable beyond words.
Lee says
To. be honest I’m simply glad I got to photograph and enjoy these places before they disappeared. And to be mentioned in the same context as Greg Girard is a huge compliment. Thanks ever so much.
