Another charming image, can't imagine there were many people taking family shots at the Kingsmill Road precinct with a TLR in 1982.

Just happened to be passing that way today, so stopped by, and it's still there; and here it is 35 years on, almost unrecognizable:

Thanks for doing this! In the 1970s and 1980s the people living in the retirement apartments used to speak through the wire fence to passers by. It looks now as though there is mainly a need to keep 'passers by' out.
