Do you remember the garden centre area in 1954? Perhaps some of these photographs will jog a memory. PLEASE NOTE The pictures are of sufficiently high quality so as to show the details (and because of this they will take a few moments to download if you are using a standard 56k modem). All of the pictures are 'thumbnail' images - just click on the small image to enlarge. When the image has loaded, an enlargement icon will appear at bottom right when you run the mouse over the image.
