1930s Methodist Sailors and Soldiers Home

Interesting view. The buildings on the right would have been on the praya as seen here Guessing the Blue Building.

The entrance (to the new Home) is just beyond Arsenal Street, not far from the old Home, which is to come down to make room for road improvements. Because of the new road level, the new Home stands back from the present Praya kerb. The whole of the plumbing work and installation of fire equipment was carried out Messrs C. E. Warren & Co. Ltd. China Mail 30 January 1929 refers.

I don’t know when the photograph was taken, but I would guess that Normann is maybe 7 years old? He was born in 1928, so it is probably from around 1933-1936.

Bit weird to ask for a full date that the photo was taken to the nearest decade?  For instance this photo is circa 1937 and yet I'm forced to put 1940/01/01 to fit the system?  could be misleading?
