Lots of changes at this busy, gritty, industrial intersection in the intervening 16 years between 1947 and 1963! The transition of the Bailey Broom Factory from oil dealership to roofing shop. Expansion of the National Grocers building, (including cold storage!) and interesting fuelling options - oil vs. coal! The starting point, 1911 fire insurance map while the durable Bailey Broom Factory building was still making a clean sweep (top).
1947 (above) and 1963 (below) Tons of prototype and modelling operational interest and detail here! Thanks, G.H.!
