Changes in Bridge Street

The Bridge St streetscape works are very nearly done - only some plants to go in.  Did you know that Woodruff Terrace, pictured here, was once 'Woodruffs' -  a very substantial dairy. Woodruff was several times mayor of Port Melbourne and for a brief time mayor of the City of Melbourne.

Janet, it's easy to forget how much it has changed. Good to see the comparison.
