27 Cambridge - then and now.

I came across the excellent blog of expat Aussie John Mansel-Pleydell the other day (link here) which had a great section about growing up in Paddo in the 70s.  John lived at 27 Cambridge, the above shot is c. 1976 and the one below is from this year.  I emailed John and he recalled that the house had previously been a boarding house when his parents bought it, both the verandah and porch had been covered in and used as extra bedrooms and kitchenettes.  Interesting what John noticed most about the 'now' photo was the bars on the windows which I guess are de rigueur on most inner city terraces these days.
