Pedestrians and vehicle traffic on Gloucester Street

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.
