05.01.2022 A special request to the Society. If you can assist please email [email protected] " My husband has been recalling his teenage years when his family had a little, inherited shack at Daley's Point on the waterfront. My daughter has become very interested in his memories and we are wanting to help him make a little book using his few photos from that time. We wondered if we could buy a map incorporating the... area between the Rip Bridge and the bridge across to St Hubert's Island and copies of any photos from the fifties or earlier. Next to the shack was a house lived in by a Mr Cole and a Mr Pilgrim then a house called "Oban". The next property was called "Melrose". He remembers with interest the shipbuilding yard at "Palermo", owned at that time by the Beatties. There is also a connection for him with the Piper family." See more
