Same… spent a good few years next door in Princes Hill, Nth Carlton. We moved next to Malvern. I cried and still remember the culture shock. No laneways. No rabbit-oh, bottl-oh and no fun on streets

Park St, South Melb...we used to live at number 313 Park St, a German doctor owned it at the time, my grandparents lived not far away on Cecil. I'm 50 now but can still remember sitting on the bench outside the South Melbourne Markets with my grandfather while Mum and Nana went shopping.

Saw them in the Guardian. They are fantastic. Even better with your well chosen score to accompany them. Thanks Gezza.

Damn...seeing the city as it used to look brings back so many memories. I remember the laneways and the roaming gangs of lads having the occasional beef. Loads of fun. Picking fruit hanging over back fences into the lanes and hanging around the parks. You could catch the tram from Kew tram depot to the city for about 25c return. The conductor made sure everyone behaved and people were far more polite.

nostalgia, NOUN, " a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time"

If I burped at the dinner table, my mum would lament that I “came from the gutters of Fitzroy!”. This was a cliche as a judge said the same thing and the mayor of Fitzroy demanded he apologise for the remark. At the time, the City of Fitzroy was the smallest council and was absorbed by the Kennett reorganization during the nineties. In Macleod Prison on French Island, there were two rows of prison cells, they were called Toorak and Fitzroy.

Still looking very Anglo Celtic and people were much slimmer. Can't imagine inner city kids, (given the great social change unlikely to be poor white kids these days) playing cricket and footy in the street nowadays.

@kotchstevens2321 9 ай бұрын

True.. rare to see any kids playing on the streets these days. In the 70's we would be a handful, sometimes up to a dozen or more kids playing morning, arvo &(in the summer break)sometimes continuing on until it got dark around 9.30pm.
