Everyone talks about the ‘good old days’ when times were simpler. Take a look at this picture from yesteryear and see if you can spot places, people and scenes you recognise.
George Town harbour front
This image gives a glimpse of Harbour Drive in August 1984. The seats and tables on the left have since been removed to make space for taxis and buses to pull over when the cruise ships are anchored.
In the background, you’ll see Viking Gallery and the Church of God where Bayshore Mall is now located.

I would love to see more old pictures. I’ll look to see what I have. I bought sight unseen at Morritts in 1988. I fell in love with the charm, peacefulness, friendly people. Stores closed on Sundays. No roundabouts or malls. No cruise ships. Hate the cruise ships over running Stingray City and killing your starfish, coral, etc. I pray after the virus the island leaders will realize it should be less crowded. The very reason people came is being destroyed. Soon it’ll be unpopular & destroyed. Anyway, bugger is not better.
I’d send you the great pictures I took of the sinking of the Kirk Pride but, when I got home, I found out that I did not have a film in my camera! 🙂
