Businesses pictured occupying the buildings along the southern side of Gloucester Street include Mullany's 60 Minute Denture Repairs, Sheppards New and Used Furniture, Amalgamated Tele-Hire, Mojo's Nitespot, White Heron Travel, Holy Cross Chapel, Chancery Arcade, McDonald's Auction Rooms, Mutual Rental Cars and Maling & Co.
