The photo was taken from the MacDonnell Road Bridge. Behind the empty place was the Union Church (3rd generation) [1891-c.1944], ruins still there.

The large open area is the site of the old Union Church.

The ruins on the north side of Kennedy Road are the remains of St George's House. The current Zetland Hall stands on this site.

There's more about this scene on p.98 of Vol.1 of my books.
