Train Steaming out of the picture top right hand corner. Took me a while to orientate myself to this one but I presume that’s St Leonard’s bridge just left of the station and Edinburgh road towards the bottom. Photos from this era show how important the railway was to Perth’s economy. 2 gingermunkie and south inch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry could not say, I had left Perth by the mid 60s. I do remember a number of cafes in Perth in the 50s. The Washington as in the photo, Rendezvous, Scott St., Grosvenor, St. John St and one on the corner of Princes St. and Canal St. whose name escapes me. There were others, you had to move around since none of the owners were too keen on you sitting for hours nursing a coke or a cup of coffee! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Lethamite 45 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Just a bit further on from the parked car, was that Frazers menswear shop? And when did Dan Taylor's menswear (next to Woolworths) bite the dust? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zucconi family owned the cafe in Princes St. Think they had another place along the street. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
