Kiwi,
Just having another look at all these film locations. Did you do all the research to get the updated shots, it's very impressive.

Hi Rod,thanks for that. Most of the updated shots I have located but a few came with the actual picture shots, though I do still check to make sure they are correct. It does take time but it makes it all worth while when you get a feed back from a member, thanks again Rod.

Hi , we lived at 200 Weston Street , which was used in the film scene of the blitz bombings. I recall that the lower end of Weston Street was demolished and a new concrete jungle called Hunter Close built on the site. I just returned to the site after a few years, most of the photos and memories I chat to my dad about as it was a great time in his, and my lives. Thanks for keeping the site going. Regards. David Goldswain.

Hi David, welcome back, also your thanks for keeping the site going, it makes it all worth while.
Cheers Kiwi.
