It is easy how you can let events pass you by and I have no idea when most of these buildings got their new brick facades but I guess it will have been around 2003
This was when on the Eight Day moved back into their new building on the corner of Sidney Street.
By then the Post Office had vacated their premises and Johnny Road House had shrunk to one shop and the strip had pretty much just become a set of food outlets.
Back in the 1970s along with a very different Eight Day I remember Carol Ardern “Stylist to the Stars” and newsagents and perhaps even greengrocers, all of which brings me back to that simple observation that you should never take a place for granted.
