Most of the main buildings you can see in the photos have vanished, replaced now with landscaping.
If you want to do a Google Street View comparison, here are their locations.

These are fabulous pics of a very interesting area [at least to me].

Thanks Neale
Fantastic photos, as always, Neale. I actually grew up in nearby Scott Street a few years before these photos were taken. Coincidentally, the house immediately opposite where the red car in the top photo is (rather badly) parked was up for sale a wee while back - I was tempted to have a gander at it!
