Just noticed on this old map that it looks like a planned expressway right through Springburn, but it does't actually follow the route of the actual expressway they built around 1980 - according to this map - it leaves the bottom half alone (from Flemington St / Fire station downwards) but pretty much slices thruogh the top half behind where the Co-op used to be.

What was actually built was an expressway which chopped the bottom half away completely (including my street!) but left the top half untouched (as it is now), with main road traffic routed to the left and right of the town around what was Atlas St onto a flyover ramp along the route of Edgefauld Rd.

If this is a genuine town plan, then it means that the destruction was routed away from the Carleston St / Kay St area sometime. Still a bloody mess, though.

Do you find this valuable?
