My home almost 100 years ago! Thanks! And those 'street cars' AKA 'trams' are still rolling. Came home on one tonight!
The completed Myer Emporium extension and facade from 1933 is shown at 1:40 next to the Town Hall. The Shrine of Remembrance appears complete at 2:16 which was done in 1934.
The Film was edited at least in 1932 since the Manchester Building was finished in that year, few of the early scenes seems to have been shot in the late 1920s
Remarkable how so much building was completed in those years. I was always told that most of the men were sent to the 2 world wars in the early 20th century. Few returned fit or healthy after WW1. There were many spinsters as not too many men left to marry. Then came WW2, less than 20 years later. Another generation of strong young men gone.
I winner who did all the building? Managed the quarries and the manufacturering?
There was also a depression before WW1.
No the great depression was after WWI started about the late 1920's through to the start of WWII
Was that pharlap who won?
