Re: 1959 Central
Hi there,
It was a time before my existance, but I guess I recognized the Union House (the site of Chater House now) as well as the former Alexandra House. And of course, the old Gloucester House, which is bearly visible at the edge of the photo.
There was the Government Office blocks as well. The City Hall was still a construction site as shown in the photo.
Best Regards,
T
