The original photo of my grandparents was taken during the mid-1940’s as they returned from an Armistice Day parade and ceremony (now Remembrance Day). Using the little knowledge and skill I have when it comes to photo enhancement, I have positioned them at precisely the same spot on the street as it is now. Fortunately the trees in the middle of the road that can be seen in the original have been long removed – I can vouch for this as I still live on the street!!

Lovely job, Deegan, especially before Remembrance Day. Linda
Deegan, It’s Andrew Zelmer from 249 Melville. My brother Peter was good friends with Rory. I’m interested in local history. Do you have any more early pics of Melville? Very neat pic you have there. We remember the softball games on the corner. You were the pitcher//. there was “Tiny” the forklift guy, and we were the “little raskalls” on the bench throwing chestnuts.
I remember you well. I should have some photos. I’ll get them to by email. Please confirm your email address. Good to hear from you.
