Junction of Nathan and Kimberley Roads

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1967

Cropped (bottom photo) from an image on Flickr.

On Flickr atrributed to the junction of Austin and Nathan Roads, but this one shows the junction of Nathan and Kimberley Roads. The rounded building is Princess Theatre, the left one is Miramar Hotel. The movie showing was released 1960-12-23, so the date is ok.

1967 TST Nathan Rd

Reading from the street sign, this should be the junction of Middle and Nathan Roads. Swindon book shop is on the right. It seems to be very close, for me it should a a few blocks further north. The Swindon sign looks a bit different to the one from 1966: same outline, but different colour.

Ritz Theatre's Neighbours (1954)

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1954

This 1954 photo was likely taken from the roof of the tea restaurant just south of Ritz Theatre, and was looking north along Nathan Road, or perhaps from a vantage further south .  One year after its opening, Ritz still looked new.

Two blocks up on the left could be the roof of Broadway Theatre, and the only building taller than the shop houses was the fairly new bank building on Argyle Street corner.  The distant ridgeline is how I remember it, and I think it is still there, just that high rises now make the sight impossible to repeat.
