1966 view of old Palmer's engine erecting shop on the left mid-ground, with its 2 storey office attached on the right. Note its Victorian style construction and the more modern style of the blocks of home units built on the slum clearance areas.

Note: This view is from the high-rise flats of "Ellen Court", probably first occupied in Feb 1966.
