Looking back in time

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.

Harbour Drive
This picture is of Harbour Drive in the 1980s, courtesy of John Doak. The building on the far left is Island Taste – known for its great food and views of the waterfront from the second floor dining area.

According to Craig Merren, the green building on the right was the location of John Clayton Merren’s pressing shop – the first dry-cleaning business in Cayman, which opened in the 1950s. When John Clayton passed away, it was subsequently used as a storage facility.
